Item details

Clay is rolled into a ball, slowly rotated and pinched out into a shallow bowl using the thumb and fingers, till the desired shape and depth is reached for the pond base.
The duck is then shaped and attached with a clay slip mixture to the middle of the bowl.
When dried off slightly markings are then scratched around the inside of the pinched bowl to start off the impression of grasses that grow at the waters edge and a hole pushed into the centre of the bird to hold the incense when completed.
After the first firing, oxides, under glazes, earthenware glazes and wax resist are applied in layers, before finally adding in some crushed recycled glass bottle which will melt into the base giving the smooth feel and colour of the still water in the canals and ponds, before a glaze firing.
Width 13 cm, height of bowl 2 cm.

The inspiration for these incense burners has come from the ponds and stretches of canals that run through my local area.
The edges are built up with layers of scratches, brush strokes and liquid wax to reflect the organic edges of the earthy banks which give life to wild flowers, grasses, insects and wildlife.
Broken pieces of bottle green glass are then carefully laid into the base of the bowl, giving a smooth, still water like appearance when melted, with a pleasing crackle like texture in places. Giving the bird the appearance of floating on the surface.
The canal and pond water can often appear dark green as a combination of the silt and reflection of the evergreen trees that grow along the edges.
Although made to hold incense sticks, this little bowl could be used as a ring dish or to hold jewelry.
