About MeThis stoneware ovoid vase with short neck is decorated with pale green celadon and brown wood ash glaze. There is a lustre effect which makes the vase look shiny.
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.
