Grey, Turquoise Aventurine Sea Globe

Dimensions: H: 10.5cms D: 10.5cms

Clay: Earthenware

Technique: Slip cast

Glaze: Grey, turquoise, aventurine, 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 earthenware Se Globe has horizontal lines circumnavigating the globe in tones of grey, turquoise and aventurine; each layer fusing together in the kiln. The piece has been finished with gold detailing on 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.
