Tenmoku. Moon Jar
Hand-thrown vessel
Dimensions: Ø 19cm × H 19cm
Materials: Stoneware clay
Method: Hand-thrown
Care: Watertight; we recommend using an insert. To clean, lightly dust, taking care around the inlaid porcelain.A variation on the moon jar form, this vessel continues Papworth’s study of volume, surface, and restraint. Thrown in stoneware and finished in a deep matte black Tenmoku glaze, the surface is punctuated by small inlaid chips of porcelain — a quiet interplay of light and dark, gloss and matte.
The rounded body narrows gently at the base and opens to a wide, balanced rim. A piece of quiet contrast and poise, embodying both weight and stillness.
