About Me
A small mug with almost straight sides and a simple loop handle with prominent join at base. Wheel-thrown with distinct potting rings.

It is glazed outside in a mustard yellow slip (liquid clay) over white glaze with a narrow band of brown slip around the foot. The inside is glazed in a dark brown slip with some speckling.
Bowen built his own wood-fired kilns for the production of domestic earthenwares at his North Devon pottery. He makes a wide selection of useful pieces for the storage, preparation, cooking and serving of food and drink, ranging from giant store jars to everyday dishes, jugs and mugs.

There are no works to discover for this record.
