Potter: Bayer, Svend
Wood-fired stoneware standing form, mounted on a square wooden base. An interpretation of a neolithic hand axe, which may be in the maker's possession. Fired on its side in firebox, giving heavy mottled brown ashing with a circular orange patch which the ash could not reach.
No mark.
