About MeThis stoneware ovoid vase with a short neck is glazed in a pale green celadon glaze, orange shino glaze and brown and black wood ash glaze. Svend Bayer often uses this combination of glazes to decorate his work.
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.
