Adorable dish and design, really thrilling to see it. Just imagine getting though a dish of buttered steamed spinach and nettle shoots, only to discover more leaves beneath everything!
I think some of the earlier ‘Green Man’ plates that I made were a bit overworked and rather too busy for serving food on, and so I too favour the simplicity of this leafy earthenware dish. Thank you Glen. I’m so glad you like it.
I love that collaboration. I managed to get through one semester of wheel throwing and was never able to produce a bowl that was not wonky beyond belief- kudos to the potter. As for your decoration, extremely charming, acorns being a very favorite motif. I know it is an obvious fact but I am always taken with how so much of your graphic design reminds me of early Pennsylvanian ornament :crewelwork, slip decoration, butter stamps, etc. I know my ancestors were inspired by what was going on in the motherland : but i love that aesthetic/cultural connection we have as nations. Or perhaps I’m all sentimental after watching the opening of the games last night…
Any way, excellent, would love an entire service sent to San Diego please.

Well it’ll come as no surprise to you, Leonard, that I love Pennsylvanian folk design. And as for a n entire service, earlier this week Pip was looking at some of the vignette designs I did for Thaliad… the ones with decorative borders… and she told me she though they’d make wonderful dinner-sevice designs, and that we should get together to do it. So, you never know!
This in fact was started quite a while ago. A couple of Christmases back, after a meal at Pip’s, we were all presented with plates she’d made earlier, unfired though dry enough to decorate. Pip, her daughters Jessie and Ruth, grandson Ben, Peter and I and his brother Andrew, all spent an hour at the table, each decorating his or her own plate. Two years on and we were presented with the fruits of our labours. I’d completely forgotten what I’d done on mine. Peter did a very good image of Ty Isaf, and Andrew drew a map of Wales!!!
i love the effect the shadows have, what a fabulous design and lucky collaboration!

I love it. How deep it this Clive?
About an inche and a half. Quite shallow.

Oh, so glad Pip is throwing pots again! Lovely. I always like your collaborations with her.

Fun! I want to see the others now…
Gorgeous! Those colours are fabulous and I love the 3D effect, as if those leaves have just fallen into the bowl for a rest!
Oddly, I’m half way through a piece with oak leaves and an acorn in…..I wonder if my psyche is floating over Ty Isaf at night and poaching ideas!!
You’re welcome to fly over any time Shellie!
