Yo Thom 'Soy Sauce Pot with Saucer - Pattern B'

Dimensions:  W 8cm x H 8cm

Materials: Stoneware

Method: these pieces are hand built, then Indigo slip is applied onto leather hard clay and the work is decorated using sgraffito technique, before being bisque fired and glazed with a matt white glaze.

Description:

This handcrafted soy pot carries a quiet, contemplative beauty. The rounded body feels balanced in the hands, while the gently tapered spout allows for smooth, deliberate pouring. The artists signature hand-painted surface, and subtle variation in glaze and form speaks to the maker’s touch, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike.
