Product Details

Description:

Wheelthrown butter dish in a toasty stoneware clay and finished in teal silky glaze – or duck egg blue or new smooth stone – so great for half a pack of butter – keeps the butter fresh with easy access for cooking or spreading. Can be ordered in different finishes. Also available in matching salt pig, and garlic keeper and lemon juicer.
Can be matched with mugs, bowls, teapots extra large tea or coffee cups and a range of jugs .
All the pieces are hand thrown on a kick wheel, small variations in size and shape are part of this hand made process and the glazing is all by hand too so slight variations in tone and colour are a natural result. This adds to the unique character of each lovingly made item.

Story:

A fun practical and funky addition to any kitchen store cupboard or dresser. Perfect when you want to keep the butter fresh and protected. They look great in the kitchen, or on the table –
This design has been refined – the piece is thrown as one hollow form – then a gallery for the lid is created by indenting the clay with a wooden tool -the lid and base are divided but then fired together. The gallery ensures that the lid fits cleanly over the butter without touching it. It’s simple and practical and a great addition to a busy cook’s kitchen. These are a new and slightly larger version approx 13 cmsø and approx 13 cms high – great for 1/2 a pack of butter

Artist

judy caplin ceramics

Judy Caplin trained as a painter and printmaker before she discovered the wonders of clay, and never looked back.
I throw all my pieces on a kick-wheel, which allows for more intimate contact between hand and machine.
I only make small batches at a time so all the pieces are ‘one-offs’ and variations in colour and size are part of this handmade process.
As well as making and selling my ceramics I have created community projects and worked on public commissions throughout the North East.
I work out of my studio near the beautiful village of Mickleton surrounded by the rolling hills of Teesdale and only 200 yards from the mighty River Tees.
The kitchen and tableware range developed from wanting to make pieces that looked good on a dresser and felt great in the hand. It took many experiments to find the right forms – the mugs, cups, bowls, dishes, jugs and teapots are ‘road tested’ in my kitchen and finely tuned as I throw each new batch of pieces.
The 3/4 glazed pieces reveal the fired surface texture contrasting with the smooth silky glaze. I mix the clay myself – a regular stoneware body plus a bit of terracotta. I love the way this creates a ‘toasting’ on the surface – as the fluid glaze and raw pot fuse in the kiln, some magic occurs, tingeing the body with a warm blush. With minute changes in the amounts of oxide the glazes will vary from ‘cloud grey’ to ‘duck egg blue’, ‘eau de nil’ , ‘teal’ or ‘stone’
The fruity pieces are fun to make – drawing the fine lines of fruit and leaves with a slip trailer and painting on the glazes. I love the freedom of drawing on the pot in this way – and allowing the kiln to do its work – so the fruit stalks and leaves blend with the flowing glaze and create a unique image – no two will be the same.
To retain the smooth sheen of the glaze we recommend hand washing these pieces
Please take care in the microwave as they get hot (iron in the clay)
