Martin Everson Davis Raku Vase Welsh Artist Signed MED 24cm Abstract Studio Pot
Martin Everson Davis Raku Vase – Welsh Artist – Signed MED. This is a highly individual piece in which the Raku firing process has created an expressive, organic surface. The appearance changes dramatically as the vase is turned, with each side revealing a different arrangement of colour, texture and reduction effects. One side is dominated by a vibrant high-gloss cobalt blue glaze, framed by areas of soft grey, white and exposed clay, with darker carbonised markings running through the surface. Turning the vase reveals a much more graphic composition, with black slip splashes and sweeping marks across a pale ground, contrasted by areas of deep smoky black reduction. Another view reveals a predominantly charcoal, grey and raw-clay composition, with an irregular vertical divide and subtle circular carbon markings. The lower section also shows warm copper and bronze tones produced by the reduction process. The result is a three-dimensional abstract work that rewards viewing from different directions, with no single’front’ dominating the piece. The base is initialled MED, providing a direct identifying mark for the artist. Artist: Martin Everson Davis. Type: Raku studio pottery vase. Period: Late 20th century.
