Size 27cm in diameter, 13 cm in height. This bowl is a lovely example of Richard Godfrey’s inimitable work. It is wheel thrown in pale clay, turned, and coloured glazes skilfully applied using an airbrush with further hand painting, and the whole is finished in a tin glaze. The minor clay loss on the base (see photos) occurred during its making when the bowl was removed from the kiln shelf. Part of the manufacturing process, not damage and is not visible at all when the bowl is viewed from the side. Richard Godfrey (1949 – 13 December 2014) made ceramics in his studio at Battisborough Cross, Devon England. He graduated from Bristol School of Art in 1972 having been taught by Gillian Lowndes. From 1973 to 1981 he was Head of Art and Deputy Headmaster at Battisborough International School, Devon, which was founded by Kurt Hahn. Having set up his first workshop, he made production thrown ware for Cranks restaurant. Godfrey was a fellow of the Craft Potters Association and known primarily for his brightly coloured earthenware pottery which used composite underglaze patterns. He won the Bronze award at the European Ceramics Competition in Athens 2004 and at the Art in Clay festival in 2013 he was voted winner of the Valentine Clays Peers Award for best contribution to the festival. He lectured, demonstrated and exhibited widely and was the subject of two television documentaries. Godfrey’s work combined thrown and hand built forms made with white earthenware clay, inspired by observing his surroundings and found objects. Potter Hannah McAndrew described his work as “bright beasts, immaculately made, vibrant and smiling”.

Coffee set consisting of 4 x cups & saucers, a milk jug, sugar bowl and coffee pot. There is minor damage to almost all of the pieces. This has not been helped by the material used being grogged and gritty which I’m sure is what the potter wanted to achieve but as with a lot of this type of pottery as the glaze wears the particles come loose and it is often described as rubbing or gritting on the surfaces. All of the pieces are marked with Gwyn Hansen-Piggott’s personal mark. The saucers are all undamaged as is one of the cups. Dealing with the measurements and the damage. Rim diameter 11 cm. Stand 5.7cm high. 3 cups minor fritting on one 2 with 1 chip on each & 1 good as photographed. Rim diameter 10 cm. 1 small chip as photographed. Stand 10.5 cm high. Rim diameter 9 cm. Fritting on rim as photographed. Stand 21.5 cm high. 3 x chips to lid & fritting (wear) on handle all as photographed.
