Bowl – wave with fish

This footed bowl form was thrown on the wheel in fine porcelain and then made  oval to increase the sense of rhythm in the form. After a base glaze of celadon, the ‘wave’ colours are freely brushed on, through the subtle fish motifs.  The piece is then placed in the kiln for the long, high temperature firing. Here the colours interact in the heat and atmosphere and the porcelain develops that ‘porcelain ring’.
