About MeStoneware medium footed bowl, or tazza, with a ringed and stepped foot. The bowl is glazed all over in a pale green celadon, which stops short of the base.
Decorated with an incised ring and marks around the inside well of the bowl and a pattern of potting rings around the exterior beneath the rim.
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.
