Large Ballclay Vase by John Kershaw

A beautiful ballclay stoneware vase with a crackled texture. Two small handles adorn the sides of the vase and Kershaw’s signature stamp lies at the side of the vase

“Most of my work is thrown on the wheel, as I prefer the shape and details produced by the action. I enjoy creating different textures of clay and glaze, often using powdered clays on a wet thrown pot to build up a thick surface. I’m influenced primarily by ancient and primitive pottery, as the means of making are direct and very straightforward. I use a copper Barium matt glaze on much of my work, with a variety of coloured glazes for brush decoration.” – John Kershaw
