Description

This is a super studio pottery footed bowl by the highly regarded potter, Tim Andrews of large proportions with a slightly flared shape and coated in an off-white dolomite crackle glaze, its beauty lies in its simplicity of form and decoration. It bears the impressed mark of Tim Andrews (TA) at the foot and was made in the early 1990s.

Andrews is well known for his smoke-fired and raku ceramics, often with crackle glazes, but this piece is different in that it has a porcelain body. This dates it to a period in the early 1990s when Andrews was working with porcelain before focusing on raku pieces. The reddish spots on the inside of the bowl are due to iron oxide in the clay.

Andrews trained as an apprentice to David Leach and studied at Dartington Pottery Training Workshop before setting up his first studio in 1981. He returned to share the workshop at Lowerdown with David 1986-93 and now has a studio at Woodbury in Devon. He is a fellow of the Craft Potters Association and has published a number of books on the craft of raku.

His work is found both in public and private collections including: Stoke-on-Trent and Liverpool Museums, Ashmolean Museum, St John's College, Oxford, Donna Karan, New York, Lord Chancellor Lord Irving, Imerys and The Royal Bank of Scotland.
