Turquoise, Cobalt and Gold Sea Globe (No.2)

Dimensions: H: 10.5cms D: 10.5cms

Clay: Earthenware

Technique: Slip cast

Glaze: Blue, turquoise, 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 beautiful Sea Globe has a turquoise glaze with beautiful shades of coastal blue and aventurine cascading around the globe. The heavy glazing that covers the entirety of the globe has knitted together at high temperature. The globe has a matt transparent glaze inside.

The piece has been finished with gold lustre 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.
