Small hand thrown bowl by Rory Shearer in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland. Rory created this piece using celadon glaze over cobalt slip with added brush decoration.

Concentrating on surface, his pieces are no longer just containers, but are hollow forms that you want to pick up, touch, move your hand over the surface and examine the exterior. Rory’s work shares characteristics with large abstract painting, beautiful from a distance but compelling you to look ever closer.

Approximate Measurements: height 9cm x diameter 12cm
