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 earthenware Sea Globe finished with a platinum detailed rim has a beautiful combination of turquoise and blue glazing sharply contrasted with dark tones of grey, black and aventurine. Where the glaze has intentional crazed, these fine lines have been highlighted in either white or black to create a unique pattern.

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).
