'Made in Cley' was founded in 1984 by potters from Germany, Britain and the USA. Its eight members make functional wheel-thrown pottery, jewellery, sculpture, and prints, sharing making and processing such as glazing, firing and selling so that their work is the result of continuous exchange and cross influences. Because of this, individual pieces are usual marked with the factory stamp but without an individual potter's mark. The copper-red glaze on this bowl was used by the pottery between 1996 and 2010.
