The inspiration for these insence burners has come from the ponds and stretches of canal that run through my local area.
The edges are built up with layers of scratches, brush strokes and liquid wax resist 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 have been melted into the base of the bowl during the glaze firing, giving a smooth, still water appearance, with a pleasing crackle like texture in places.The glass makes the bird look as if it is floating on the waters surface.
The canal and pond water can often be dark green in colour as a result of disturbed silt and the reflection of the evergreen trees and bushes that grow along the banks.
Although made to hold incense sticks, this little bowl can also be used as a ring dish or for jewelry.

Full description
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 Mallard Duck is then shaped and attached using a clay slip mixture, to the centre of the dish.
When dried off slightly, markings can then be scratched around the inside edge of the pinched dish as a base for the grasses that grow at the waters edge and at thi stage the hole would be made at the centre of the duck to hold the incense stick when completed.
After the first firing, oxides, under glazes and wax resist are applied in layers, before finally laying in crushed, recycled glass bottle which will melt into the base during the glaze firing giving the smooth feel and colour of the canal and pond water.
Width 13 cm, height of bowl approx 3 cm.
