What´s it for?


I have been asked more than once what this is for, as if every piece of "pottery" needs to have a function. It is made from porcelain, unglazed and inspired by sea life/fossils/coral. It is about the size of a small plate. It does not have a function, any more than a painting does...although I suppose at a pinch it could be used for straining spaghetti...after all Jack Lemmon used a tennis racquet for the same purpose!

  1. It's one of those items that you are attracted to because it is unique and doesn't need a specific function. Do you display it on a wall?

    1. Thank you Wendy, yes I did make it, once a potter always a potter! This one is displayed in a cabinet but I have a similar one on a wall. I made several while I was exploring the theme.
