Details
Origin

This striking anagama wood-fired jug was made by Peter Swanson, inspired by Tregonning Hill Porcelain Project. Peter lives and works at the foot of Tregonning Hill, where the first true China Clay deposit was discovered in Great Britain. William Cookworthy located the deposit of good china clay (Kaolin) and moonstone (petuntse), which are the materials needed to make an identical porcelain body to that which was used in China from the 12th Century.
A delightful and completely unique jug that will be a joy to use. Pieces are marked with TH for Tregonning Hill and Swanson's pottery mark.

Dimensions: H-21cm x W-15 cm

As all products are handmade sizes and colour may vary slightly.

Peter Swanson is a self-taught ceramicist who established his own pottery in 1976. His method of working has changed and evolved over the years, from earthenware to reduction fired stoneware and porcelain, specialising in specific varieties of individual Ash Glazes.
Born in 1950, Peter began working in potteries from 1967 in between travelling to various parts of the world and absorbing different cultures. In 1974 Peter moved to St. Ives, Cornwall helping his family establish a pottery on the Penbeagle Estate. Peter uses a self-built gas fired reduction kiln of some 36 cu.ft. for both domestic and individual pieces. He built an Anagama kiln in 2004 which has enabled him to explore surface decoration that is not possible in the gas kiln.
