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. Notably this piece has been inspired by the relationship between land and sea.

This earthenware Sea Globe has been decorated with multiple layers of blue, turquoise blue, black and grey glazes that cascade from the rim. Shards of angular gold cut across the globe which is finished with gold detailing on the rim. Please note, as shown in detailed images, the glaze on this globe has intentionally grazed.

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).
