About MeThis beaker is known as a 'guinomi' and is intended for drinking sake.
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 is glazed in a black slip which has the typical 'orange peel' texture of the soda vapour glazing process which Ruthanne Tudball specialises in. The piece is further decorated with bands of green celadon slip sweeping from foot to rim emphasising the shape.
