About MeStoneware small beaker known as a 'guinomi', or sake cup, with facetted body and sodium vapour glaze.
The sides have been manipulated and cut in a rhythmic pattern, while the clay is still soft, capturing a sense of movement which inspires Ruthanne Tudball. The exterior has been brushed with green slip and a black manganese and iron slip, with a blue glaze around the rim. The piece was fired in a gas kiln with sodium vapour glaze, creating an 'orange peel' texture.
