Peter Clough studio pottery porcelain blade vase, Grey Moor, c2000
Size: 22.5 cm tall, max width at base 4.3 cm. Condition: Overall good condition, no damage. There is a firing fault on one edge and also a small area where the top decoration has flaked off, both faults arising in the kiln. This very striking vase is a good example or Peter Clough’s work from the last 20 years. The vase is made in a grogged porcelain clay with the decoration built up slowly using, coloured slips, shellac resist, drawing and sponging. The interior has a black vitreous engobe and the whole piece is fired unglazed to 1280 degrees C. Peter titles his work and this one is called “Grey Moor”. There is a firing crack at the top edge of the vase on one side, and on the other side a loss of a small part of the surface decoration, which probably also happened during the firing. Peter Clough trained as a potter and sculptor on the South of England, before moving North in 1966. For the last 20 years he has lived in near Harrogate, and he drives inspiration for his sculpted and painted work from the Yorkshire Dales.
