Large Jug in Lichen No. 3
Wood-fired
One of my favourites of the collection, these wood-fired jugs have a simple classic curve that would be right at home on your table, window sill or shelf. Personally I like to fill mine with handfuls of seasonal blooms and foliage which are complimented by the natural toasted clay below. Or they are just as handy as a water jug on the table too.
Each is hand thrown with the spout being eased in shape just after throwing. I then attach a traditional hand pulled handle which is shaped to fit each individual piece.
Glazed in my Lichen glaze, the interior soft speckled off white is contrasted against the raw unglazed exterior of toasted earthy hues.
All wood-fired pieces are completely unique and individual due the firing process - no two pots will ever be the same.
H: 19 cm D: 11.5cm approx
Stoneware
Wood-firing is traditional process that is now only used by a few potters. It’s a labour of love as each firing take days loading and firing with a team stocking to reaching a temperature of 1280’C. Ash circulates the kiln landing on pots to create beautiful speckles, flames create rich colours and earthy toasted finishes. Each pot is balanced on clay packed sea-shells to stop them sticking to the kiln shelf, the shells leave beautiful marks and imprints on the base.
Whilst its fraught with uncertainty, it’s worth the extra effort for the beautiful unique pots that emerge, each a little different … just the way handmade pieces should be.
Note: Photos including flowers are for illustative purposes and may not be the exact jug.
All my pottery is dishwasher safe but I recommend hand washing.
