DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Coil built and raku fired ceramic vessel (porcelain/T-material), near spherical shape but with a high shoulder, a not-quite-circular opening at the top, Biscuit fired to 1050oc, raku fired to c.875-900oc and surface ground after each firing to leave a smooth creamy-white surface with the slight irregularities and tiny pockmarks of natural stone. Designs created by applying layers of slip removed after raku firing to reveal three sets of concentric soft, light ellipses which seem to be almost shadows and  in, rather than on, the surface – suggesting the patterns found in eroded pebbles and stones on a beach. The markings shade to deep charcoal on the underside, which is rounded.
object type: Coiled clay, raku-fired, crazed white with pale smoke-grey elliptical decoration.
