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 sculptural earthenware Sea Globe has been glazed with a beautiful mottled turquoise green glaze with a central band rotating around the full circumference of the globe with tones of black, grey and aventurine detailed with gold and black lustre. 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).
