About MeStoneware small caddy with barrel-shaped body and flush fitted domed cover which is fluted in a hand-cut star or rose. Both the caddy and its cover are glazed in a pale green celadon, with craquelure, over a mid-brown glaze. The body is also glazed in a dark, almost black, iron glaze (tenmoku), which has dribbled down the body.

Richard Batterham trained at the Leach Pottery with Bernard Leach before establishing his own pottery in Dorset in 1959. He preferred to work alone, overseeing all aspects of making ceramics, including making his own stoneware clay. He specialised in pale green coloured wood-ash glazes and rich dark iron glazes and made no distinction between the domestic wares for everyday use and his large decorative objects.
