Beautiful tactile handmade porcelain bowl and spoon, with each bowl & spoon being unique.
I love working with light, shadows & reflections, different views from different angles, how surface finishes, textures & glazing brings different tactile & visual effects- all in a bowl & spoon !!
Each piece is unique in both form and there are tonal differences.
These are pure white porcelain bowls with a clear gloss glaze on the inside & the exterior is sanded smooth to the touch. The edge is a copper oxide which create the burnt effect
The hand carved spoon evolved after talking with a friend's daughter explaining what a clay pipe was & how as a child I loved cleaning my dad's pipes, this brought back a warm memory which somehow produced these spoons.

There are many steps in producing these bowls & spoons, creating the forms, refining the pieces as they dry, first firing which turns them from clay to ceramic, glazing & re-firing to a high temperature of 1265 degrees to create a strong, non porous form, which is fully functional if so required. Finally I sand the exterior to give a tactile smooth surface making them a pleasure to handle. I would recommend hand washing.
