About MeThis stoneware bulbous bottle has a narrow neck and small loop handle. There are four pairs of small shell imprints evenly spaced around the body just above the base. This bottle is decorated with a brown, orange and grey wood ash glaze.

Svend Bayer was an apprentice at Michael Cardew's Wenford Bridge Pottery before travelling widely throughout Japan, Korea and South East Asia, studying wood-fired kilns. In 1975 he established his own pottery at Sheepwash in Devon, making wood-fired stoneware, incorporating local clays.
