About MeStoneware large footed bowl, or tazza, with deep ringed and stepped foot. The bowl is glazed all over in a pale green ash glaze with celadon, which has pooled around the middle. On the exterior a rust brown iron glaze (tenmoku) has been applied to the lower section, with a mid brown glaze around the foot. Decorated with two incised rings around the inside rim and a deep band of incised around the exterior.

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.
