Clive Bowen British, b. An outstanding and monumental studio pottery storage jar and cover. A wonderful earthenware pot, hand-thrown on the wheel by arguably the best slipware potter working in the UK today. If you are familiar with Clive Bowen’s output, this wildly impressive and accomplished pot will need little by way of an introduction. Brilliantly thrown from the local red clay of Devon and’dressed up’ in a combination of gloss black and delicious ochre colour slip glazes, before being placed in a traditional wood-fired kiln. This dramatic jar and cover – the largest I’ve handled by this potter – is on a scale all of its own: it’s literally the size of a small person! It would make an excellent addition to any studio pottery or slipware specific collection and represents a superb example of this potter’s output – working at his ambitious best. Would look absolutely splendid in either a country property or a townhouse alike; whilst it’s a pot informed by the rustic and earthy slipware tradition of’old England’, it is certainly not without a modern sophistication. An absolute beauty and a bona fide blue chip acquisition, not to be missed. The condition is’good’ but not perfect (see below and please view all photos). 26.5 inches (approx 70 cms) tall overall, including the lid. It’s a vintage pot and the surface displays a little crazing. There are a number of small glaze flakes to the surface – approx 9 or 10 in total – each the size of a fingernail. These are mainly confined to the ochre slip glaze and I have highlighted the most obvious ones in the photos. Although these flakes away can be seen, it would be very possible, if desired, to have these professionally touched in. They don’t bother me and I prefer to offer the pot’as is’ and for any and all flaws to be seen. It is then up to the new owner what should be done. There is also a small glaze’pop’ to the side of the vessel. This is shown in the close up photo. This can sometimes happen during the firing and is considered a firing flaw as apposed to’damage’. It is caused by an impurity in the clay reacting during the firing and’popping’ out. Whilst they are unwanted, they are common events in slipware / earthenware production and indeed would have been seen very frequently on the much earlier pots of the previous centuries, that Clive Bowen has made his lifelong inspiration. The pot is structurally sound. I have thoroughly inspected it and there are no cracks and it rings nicely. All in all it displays fantastically well and has commanded the attention and admiration of everyone who has seen it. Collection in person (Cheltenham area – FREE). Arrived on time and as described. If I could leave a million stars, I would. SUPERB: accurately described, well packed and sent quickly – highly recommended! IF THERE WAS A SCORE HIGHER THAN 5 STARS THIS EBAYER WOULD DESERVE IT A++++. Superb communication, very honest and helpful. Many thanks for looking!

RARE Very Large 30cms Dylan Bowen Studio Pottery Slip Decorated Jug Vase. A super example of slip decorated earthenware by the highly acclaimed and gifted potter, Dylan Bowen. Rarely available for re-sale, this impressive twin handled jug stands 30cms tall and is covered in decorative slip and enhanced glaze. Dylan’s work is brimming with eccentricity, free thinking and unconcern for any’normal’ style or tradition. Asymmetry, unbalance, weight and avant-garde character are all present in each piece he produces. His work is fascinating and remarkable and as far from being a derivative of traditional slipware as one could imagine. He is a true British artistic and creative powerhouse with an astonishing discernment for originality, experimentation and dare we say, fun. Painted signature to base.
