Bauhaus spoon rest, 2024

Tan stoneware clay with black speckles and light grog, slab-built, glossy yellow, glossy orange, and matte turquoise glazes

This spoonrest has a simple circular form.

Thin matte turqouise lines run vertically across the piece. Behind them, thick glossy yellow and orange stripes make up the background.

The black speckles from the claybody show through all three of these glazes, unifying the design.

The edges and the bottom are unglazed to show off the raw tan stoneware clay and its speckles. The bottom is completely smooth and has no foot. Translucent orange gloss glaze is in the signature.
