This elegantly hand-built, and glazed studio pottery piece is of British Modernist design and by Peter Ellery for his Cornish pottery studio Tremaen Pottery (1965 - 1988). Ellery's work features a heavy influence of the Cornish environment that the Tremaen studio was based in. Sea washed pebbles, rocks and boulders shaped form, and Cow Parsley from abundant hedgerows inspired décor, as is traces of rough hewn stone harbour walls and whitewashed fishermen's cottages. Many pieces have an organic feel, being deliberately weathered or textured.

This particular piece comes from Nanceddan series and would have been constructed and glazed with unconventional techniques, as was Ellery's style. The overall composition is characterised by it's exceptionally tactile and organic qualities, shaped like a stone smoothed by the ocean tide revealing the layers of its inner strata. The glazing is textured and touch inviting, the palette begins with a base of the natural stoneware clay in matte Sand that is then elevated with the silky bands of semi-matte glaze in tones of Warm Honey and Caramel brown.
