Peter Sparrey studio pottery stoneware sang-be boeuf glazed jar and cover, c1990
18.5 cm tall with lid, 17 cm to rim without lid, width of body 17 cm. Condition: Excellent condition, no chips cracks or restoration. This beautifully crafted jar and cover is in a mid brown finely grogged clay, thrown and finely turned, finished in a sang-de-boeuf glaze with splashes of an oily glaze, and high-fired to stoneware temperature. It is a lovely example of Peter Sparrey’s work, and bears his impressed stamp. Peter Sparrey was born in Worcestershire and has been potting full-time since leaving school at sixteen. After serving a three year apprenticeship as a production thrower at the Guernsey Pottery, Channel Islands, he set up his first professional studio in 1987. Peter produces finely thrown individual pieces of work using stoneware and porcelain clay bodies, decorated with traditional high-fired Far Eastern glazes including chun, tenmoku, celadon and copper red. From 2004 to 2012 Peter established a new studio in Normandy, France.
