Size: 17 cm tall, maximum width of base 11 cm. Condition: Very good condition, no chips cracks or restoration. A lovely example of Micki’s wood-fired salt-glazed tableware, fired to a high stoneware temperature. The vase is deceptively simple in design, thrown and altered and carefully arranged in the kiln to take advantage of the varied effect of wood firing, with a lovely tactile quality and lustrous sheen. The vase has Micki’s personal impressed marked and is also incised MD for Micki Doherty. Micki was married to the potter Jack Doherty in the 1970/1980s. Micki Schloessingk (born 1949) is an internationally renowned potter and a Fellow of the Craft Potters Association, and she exhibits and teaches widely. Her work, which has been for 50 years consistent in its quiet and reflective approach, is still very much in vogue, and Micki recently featured in the May/June issue of Ceramic Review. After some early experience with ceramics, Micki studied under Mick Casson and Victor Margrie on the Studio Pottery Course at Harrow College of Art, in London (1970-72). She was taught by Walter Keeler and Mo Jupp, encouraged by Gwyn Hansen and inspired by John Reeves. Her first experience of making and firing with wood and salt glazing was with Gustave Tiffoche, in Guerande, France, the summer after her first year at Harrow. On her return to college along with a couple of other women students, she built her first wood-salt kiln. In 1975 she moved to Bentham, North Yorkshire, and set up her pottery making wood-fired salt-glazed tableware. Since 1987, she has been making pots on the Gower Peninsula in South Wales.

Size: 15.5cm tall, 9.5 cm across rim, belly about 12 cm wide. Condition: Very good condition. There is a flat chip on the foot-rim, which may have been caused on removal from the kiln (sometime a stray glaze spot gets fused to the foot). This chip is not visible on display. This vase is a personally made piece by David Leach and carries his mark and the Lowerdown Pottery mark on the inside of the foot. It is decorated using a resist method with David’s signature “foxglove” motif, which reveals the tenmoku glaze underneath the overglaze which looks like ash glaze with the addition of dolomite. The thick overglaze has run in the firing to produce some wonderful curtained effects. Inside the vase is black/brown tenmoku and that glaze is also on the inside and outside of the foot. The vase is fired to stoneware. After learning his craft with his father, David set up the Lowerdown Pottery in Devon in 1955, and forged his own style with the intention of making domestic ware which was a real alternative to industrially produced pots. He also continued to make decorative items such as this vase, and his best work ranks among the most the most coveted studio pots.

Size: 23 cm tall, belly approx 14 cm wide. Condition: Excellent condition, no chips cracks or restoration. An attractive late medieval style flagon with stylised incised decoration of leaves and flowers, the inside and rim finished with an ash glaze. Andrew McGarva (born 1956) set up his own workshop in 1979 at Wobage Farm Pottery under Mick and Sheila Casson after training at Farnham School of Art. He was always interested in traditional country pottery and his early work, of which this is an example, was salt glaze, often imitating the early German and British salt glaze potters of the 16th and 17th centuries. From the mid 1980’s Andrew’s work turned increasingly to hand painted stoneware in the style of English tin-glazed earthenware. In 1990 Andrew moved to France where he continues to make pots. Unfortunately he no longer sells direct to the UK. Andrew McGarva is author of “Country Pottery, Traditional Earthenware of Britain”, published by A&C Black (2000), which demonstrates his long held interest in the history of the potteries, the personalities and the contemporary interpretations and uses of these traditions.
