Artist Statement - "I make pots for use – bowls for soup or cereal, cups for tea or wine – all meant as much for the hand as for the eye. I am interested in the way a pot, hand held, seen close up, reveals itself: the rhythms of its making, the character of clay and glazes, the marks of fire as well as those factory subtle modulations of form that give a pot both its emotional content and its fitness for use." No chips or cracks.

~Please ask all questions before purchase. Please see photos for all questions of condition.
