Abigail Schama 'Obliquity'

A sculptural piece that embodies timeless craftsmanship and rustic elegance. Its organic form, with a gracefully curved handle and gently flared spout, evokes the charm of antique pottery. The surface is finished with an expressive application of glaze, a subtle blend of muted blues, earthy greens, and soft greys, creating a natural, weathered look that feels both ancient and contemporary.

About the Artist

London based ceramic artist, Abigail Schama, came to pottery from painting. Abigail Schama’s hand thrown, stoneware bowls tell stories through surface. Any bowl is basic and universal in its meaning. The process of building up and then turning the form creates their skin and character. Abigail relies on the processes of slipping and chattering; words which describe human contact.

Abigail plays with a palette of dolomite and transparent glazes. Each piece undergoes a further firing to be lightly gilded with (24 carat) gold lustre, which highlight the shape of each form and create an intriguing contrast with the more humble tones and textures of her work.
