Serve up crudites and dip with this wonderfully wonky little tray and bowl set, perfect for entertaining!
Soaring, diving and gliding around the bowl, these birds echo the cut outs and line drawings of Matisse and Braque. Each bird design is cut out from a piece of paper and applied onto the thrown clay surface. Layers of light blue and dark blue slip are applied in order to give the piece a textural painterly depth to the surface. Once all of the nuanced layers of slip are painted on, the paper cut outs are removed to reveal the colour of the shapes underneath. Each handle has a bird cutout applied to the base to give it a special added detail.
Thrown and moulded stoneware with layers of slip and finished with a glossy glaze, 2024
Tray Dimensions: 1.5cm h x 26cm l x 13.5cm w
Bowl Dimensions: 5.5cm h x 10.5cm diameter
Each work is completely unique due to the painterly process. Any irregularities in the work are due to the making and firing process and are part of the hand-made quality of the piece.
