Solid large bowl made in dark grogged stoneware - bringing the memory of the land when held in the hand. With layers of crystaline glazes applied to create a unique pattern on the inside to evoke the sea. This is a truly unique piece.
The material, a grogged stoneware creates a strong bowl which is non porous & can be used with liquid is so wished.
There are many steps in producing this bowl, from creating the form, refining the piece as its dries, first firing which turns the bowl from clay to ceramic, glazing & re-firing to a high temperature of 1265 degrees to create a strong, non porous form, then glazing with the crystaline glaze and re-firing at a lower temperature for the glazes to develop as they should.
Although this is a strong bowl, I would recommend hand washing.
