Small, wheel-thrown and altered pebble vase. Wood-fired and glazed in a cream matte. This piece has fragments of other pottery stuck to it’s surface, where they fell into each other during the firing, creating a textured, scarred surface.
This piece is fired in a large anagama wood kiln. A team of potters worked around the clock, feeding wood into the kiln for five days and nights. The flame paths and fly ash in the kiln create unique surfaces on each pot, resulting highly varied results including flashing, speckles and glassy melted ash.
In folklore, pebbles with holes in were known as hag stones, adder stones, milpreve in Cornwall and Gloine nan Druidh in Scottish Gaelic. They have been believed to have magical properties in various traditions. This one is perfect for flowers, feathers or on its own as a sculptural piece.
