Over 8" tall ,6" wide , probably an earlier piece.

Impressed seal mark.

Signed base signature.

amazing aqua blue glaze , hand thrown piece.

This an email from Paul .
The clay body was a blend of mine which I believe from memory (no
records of this period are to hand currently as all in storage)was equal
parts China Clay: Ball Clay : Molochite (which if you don't know is a
very pure white firing grog, the flecks of which are very prominent in
your piece and give the texture to the surface). The glaze is high in
Barium Carbonate which gives the strong purple blue and other colours to
in combination with Copper Oxide. Again no records to hand but I believe
this was probably made in the early 1990's.

Just thought of a couple of extra thing you may find interesting. The
pot is made in two parts, main body and foot which would have been
joined. The form was partly inspired by the work of Derek Davis (Artist
potter from Arundel, Sussex) The use of the stamp from Japanese potters
on the "front" influenced from Colin Pearson's work. The painted
signature on the base again inspired by Derek Davis. I long ago gave up
clumsy attempts at painting my signature it is now always incised; if
you haven't already seen them there are some good pictures of this on
the Oxford Ceramics web site.
