Made in our standard brownware materials, this tea pot, with its press moulded spout, has the double overhead handle that I have been trying out over the last year. It's quite comfortable to use, and enjoyable to make.

We don't use this glaze very much as it is so unpredictable. We like it to fire like this, showing its colours ranging from strong green to pink.This one has a sprig on the side and a press moulded spout.

A small footed jar - I had some extra teapot bodies weighed out and made these in various glazes.

We needed some vases for the shop, so I made these in various sizes.

Thrown round, ovalled, dented, scalloped, press moulded spout and pulled handle attached.

The cream glaze is quite difficult to use. We like it to show just a fraction of 'chun' where it pools.

Iris stamp inside rim pcked out in blue glaze running down into cream glaze.

I enjoy making these pots. The decoration is scratched into the leather hard clay with a bamboo tool, and it is very satisfying to do. I make shallow ones as seen in the photograph, and more classic bowl shaped ones the same size. The blue glaze inside is the same glaze as the one on the rim, but thicker, and with the addition of some cobalt.

Joanna occasionally makes a batch of these. We are apprehensive when we take them out of the kiln because the cream glaze is very dependent on thickness and firing conditions.
Where this glaze is thick it can go slightly milky blue which we call 'chun', and this can show off the glaze at its best.

These are very labour intensive to make, both the cup and saucer having turned footrings, and being fired separately. They are large, but I always wonder if I ought to make them even larger. I'll try one and see what its like.

Joanna made these large platters to serve variuos nibbles on at our Special Christmas Weekend last year. It is the same holly roullette that she uses on her Christmas pudding bowl-and-plate set.

I imagine these jugs are probably used more as vases than jugs. This one is in our aqua glaze with a repeat stamp decoration.

Same as the aqua jug, but this one is in our white glaze with a repeated carnation sprigg picked out in blue and red. Looks good with flowers in - or pimms.
