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. Signature/Mark: MED initials to base. Decoration: Abstract Raku surface decoration. Colours: Cobalt blue, white, grey, black, charcoal, copper and bronze.

Please study all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and show the actual condition of the item. As with Raku pottery, variations in surface, colour, smoke effects and texture are integral to the individual character of the piece. COLLECTOR / DISPLAY NOTES. A distinctive example of Martin Everson Davis’s Raku work, with a particularly dynamic surface that changes substantially from one side to another. The combination of cobalt blue, black, smoky reduction, exposed clay and metallic copper-bronze tones gives the vase a strong contemporary presence while retaining the unpredictable character associated with Raku firing. Ahead of Its Time: A masterful design that effortlessly bridges mid-century studio craftsmanship with high-end contemporary interior design. 360-Degree Feature Piece: Designed to be rotated, this vessel acts as an evolving sculptural focal point on any modern mantle, shelf, or architectural niche. Collector-Grade Authenticity: Features a crisp, deeply impressed’MED’ makers mark on the base, preserving its lineage from his historic studio.

Most pieces are marked. Coffee cups 5cms tall so probably for espresso. Coffee pot 18cms tall. One saucer has faults to the foot but this looks like production issue rather than damage. Rare to find such a complete set in this condition.
