with these rare yunomi by Ian Gregory are again offering something
a little special. Ian Gregory is known to many for his figurative
salt-glazed stoneware, to view some of this type of work elsewhere
on our site click here. These salt-glazed
yunomi have like Mo Jupp's yunomi also exhibited in the Teabowl
section have been made by Ian at the request of oakwood ceramics.
In the 70's Ian first started to experiment with salt-glazing for
both his large sculptural and small modelling work. A model Chest
of Drawers dated 1980 can be seen in the V&A collection
number235.
Exclusive:
In 1980 Ian was asked by Janet Leach to produce a stoneware
salt-glazed model of a Leach Kick Wheel, he made 6 one of which
can be seen here I first saw the original
when staying with Ian. I thought it wonderful and asked Ian if he
would consider making me one. The result is an edition of twenty-five.
This new edition are not just copies of the original, Ian has taken
the models further with much more detailing and some references
to Bernard Leach incorporated into each model. All are subtly different
. To find out more click on the image.
