Formed from stoneware clay with Ash glazes, these tea bowls have beautiful tones reminiscent of sea glass, lichen and shells plus tiny twinkles of crystals frozen in the glaze whilst the kiln cools down. The subtle differences in decoration are revealed through the glaze in the firing, these make a lovely drinking vessel, soft and tactile to hold for a restful moment of calm.

A balanced shape to hold in your hand, with an indented turned base, each of these tea bowls has a subtle difference and a character all of its own, with unexpected textures and nuances from piece to piece, depending on its location in the kiln.
Ali Herbert started her pottery career at Loughborough College of Art, followed by a year in London, at Goldsmiths on their Postgraduate course. Her career has taken her to many places after her studies including working in Nigeria as a VSO potter and some years later spending time out in South India as lead potter for a charitable trust establishing a small scale production pottery in Tamil Nadu. Inspiration for some of her work comes from the visual journals kept at those times with studies of nature and pots.
