title: Comfort jugs

Thrown porcelain

Mat duck-egg blue lower glaze

Unglazed, oxidized stripe

Clear crackle upper glaze

Height = 14.5 and 9 cm

I like the silken feel of the thick, mat glaze.  These colours are not my usual choice but I like the cosy, homely mood they evoke. The unglazed, raw stripe has become a soft orange colour which creates a bright and happy tone. They look  they're waiting for a bunch of daisys to be plonked in them and set on a gingham table cloth.  Coupled with the traditional curvacious form the jugs become symbols of comfort.
