Handmade breakfast cups, sugar bowls and candlesticks adding originality and flair to your table.
 

Cups

A lovely way to start the day with tea or coffee from a handmade original breakfast cup – made with care and to a specially large capacity – as I am such a big tea drinker especially first thing in the morning! Each cup is individually thrown on the wheel with a hand pulled handle attached. The floral decoration in green, red or purple with contrasting black is painted onto the leatherhard surface in bold gestural brushstrokes, using colourful underglazes and sealed with high temperature glaze. Every cup is unique and therfore will vary very slightly in shape and decoration. Collections can be made up to include matching or contrasting colours – choose from green chrysanthemums, red roses or purple anemones.

Bowls

Small hand thrown bowls make perfect sugar bowls or cereal bowls to co-ordinate with cups for a pretty afternoon tea set. Other matching items such as jugs or tea plates can be made to order. Larger bowls can be used to hold fruit or just to sit decoratively on a display shelf. Excercise your individuality by putting together a unique collection of pieces in different finishes. Let me know if you have a favourite flower or colour you would like to have put onto a bespoke collection.

Candlesticks

The candlesticks are slip cast from high quality porcelain slip – all the wastage from the throwing process is dried out then slaked down and recycled into slip – making them an excellent green commodity. The floral motifs are painted on by hand using underglazes then bisque fired to 1000 degrees in the kiln. After this the candlesticks are glazed with a smooth satin glaze and fired again – this time up to 1240 degrees to ensure they are waterproof and durable – they can even be put through the dishwasher. Also try using as contemporaryvases to hold single blooms such a gerberas in bold colours.
