Turquoise. black, aventurine and gold Sea Globe
Dimensions: H: 10.5cms D: 10.5cms
Clay: Earthenware
Technique: Slip cast
Glaze: Black, blue aventurine, grey and gold
Sculpture / Non Functional
Earthenware Sea Globes are fired many times to create complex glazing designs that have been abstractly inspired by the coastline where I live and work.
This stunning earthenware Sea Globe considers the relationship between the ocean and the coastal rock formations. It has been decorated with a panels of different shades of turquoise and pale blue beautifully feathered with white ripples. These blue panels interact with a smooth glossy black glaze above an edging of aventurine and grey stratum around the circumference with pockets of gold detailing. The globe has been inspired by the iron rich rock formations that glisten in the morning sun here along the Pembrokeshire coast. Gold detailing has been applied to the rim.
I complete very few Earthenware Sea Globes due to the success rate being low caused by the multiple firings and complex glazing designs. Each piece is unique and designed purely as a sculptural “objet d’art” and is not functional (i.e. should not be used as a vase).
Initialled on the base.
