The mushroom season is nearly upon us here, and to celebrate this here are a couple of sculptural pots that have a practical purpose.
Derived from African pottery forms these deep bowls have textured bases and pinched rims with lugs for wooden handles gathered from the local woodland. Finished in a honey glaze and oversprayed with a darker iron oxide glaze the rims remain unglazed giving them a dry, rough feeling in contrast to the body of the pot. The wooden handles are left untreated and attached with jute cord.
They are ideal as sculptural pieces in their own right or could be used as bowls for fruit or similar items.
Currently these are available for sale in my Etsy shop, AlecPDavis.
