Large Size Reed Design Ceramic Stem Vase by Rowena Gilbert
Using additions of metal oxides for the blacks and blues, the coloured clay layers are brushed on the slip cast form. The surface marks are created using various sgraffito tools when the clay vessel is in a leather-hard state. Rowena bisque fires, then masks areas on the outside of the vessel using wax resist, glazing the inside and the unmasked areas with a transparent gloss with the final firing at 1160°C. All pieces are high-fired earthenware and functional.
All pieces are individually hand made by Rowena in her Brighton studio and have her signature mark on the base.
