Janice Tchalenko, Dartington Pottery, studio pottery Peacock large bowl, c1990
Size: 27 cm across rim, external height 10 cm. Condition: Excellent condition, no chips cracks or restoration. The bowl has a lovely bell-like ring when tapped. There is a white patch on the underside of the rim where the coloured glaze has not taken, but this is quite common with this particular pattern and not damage. This pattern was developed at Dartington Pottery in 1987 by Janice Tchalenko and Clare Woodhall, who was then head decorator. The bowl is thrown in a porcellaneous stoneware clay and finished with many layers of green, blue and gold glazes. The bowl is not marked or signed, as with quite a bit of Janice Tchalenko’s work. She opened her own studio in 1971, and was chief designer for Dartington Pottery from 1984 to 2010. During her career she took the public along with her on a design and colour journey, working with commercial retailers such as Next and the John Lewis Partnership, and with manufacturers such as Poole Pottery and Royal Staffordshire, but always with the pottery studio, and her own Dartington Pottery, at the heart of her work. She was als o a lecturer at Camberwell School of Art and The Royal College of Art for most of her career, and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Art. Her work is included in many public collections both nationally and internationally.
