This has resulted in equal measures of delight and frustration as some attempts work and others fail. It’s not an easy task especially as each of his pieces face, what he calls an “unknown future”, as various “breakdowns” (unpredictable cracks and fissures) occur as they are fired multiple times in the kiln. However, this is all part of Paul Philp’s unique creative process. It’s very important to him that each of his pieces develop into something that have their own individual character and identity. He wants them to have a life beyond him and soon after he starts to create them, they should continue on a journey of their own. We are attracted to this idea and hope that as owners and inheritors of his pieces that they will continue their journey in our own homes and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDescription: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eCrafted by esteemed ceramicist Paul Philp, this sublime vessel is handmade from a blend of contrasting clays. With emphasis placed on material and form, Philp created this remarkable piece that was influenced by Modernism and Art Deco architectural design styles. Adopting his own ideas to these movements, he developed an innovative body of work which encompasses his impressive research and masterly hand.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eIt is first bisque fired at 1\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e000°C to harden the material. Using multiple high temperature firings allows for thin layers of material to be applied to the stoneware surface throughout the entire making process. These firings enabled Philp to achieve the thick black 'tenmoku' glaze. Tenmoku is a type of stoneware glaze, with a large addition of red iron oxide. Philp adds a small amount of cobalt to intensify the deep colour. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThis piece has an intriguing square shaped body and a distinctive glossy glaze.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/b\u003eStoneware; Tenmoku glaze\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMethod: \u003c\/b\u003eHand built; modelled and carved\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eH 15cm x W 13cm x L 13.5cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMade in the UK\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabcontents\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"view1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 3\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 2\" class=\"page\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paul Philp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39705635815508,"sku":"PP-04","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0233\/5583\/products\/A7408707_a62694ef-88de-4dc0-a50d-0153e2448cb5.jpg?v=1676898978","url":"https:\/\/maudandmabel.com\/products\/paul-philp-4","provider":"Maud and Mabel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
