Mary Wondrausch
Is a potter whose primary interest in continental peasant art over the last twenty years has developed into an overwhelming passion for the English XVIth century tradition of slipware pottery. All the work here is thrown on the wheel in Fremington clay and slipped with offereford pipe clay. Using nine different slip-trailers of her own design she trails with oxide stained natural clays at the leather stage; it is then bisque fired 980 C and glazed at a temperature of 1040C. Great attention is paid to fine detail as most of the work is individually commissioned.
As well as personal orders, traditional pots such as this highly stylish and humourous pottery owl pitchers are produced, but not in any numbers.
This large pitcher is in excellent condition with only fine age crazing to the honeyglaze. It has the correct initials placed by the handle.
It is 17 cms in height, 18 cms from front to back of handle and is 11.5 cms across the top.
