#21 - Funnel Jar with Stitch-work Repair

Deeply charred oak vessel that was brushed back to reveal the texture of the grain before coating with danish oil and wax and then burnishing with a stiff brush. Finally it’s mended with our signature stitch-work repair.

We have been exploring variations of this form for a while now and it’s one we have fallen in love with, it references an early Neolithic vessel known as a ‘Funnel Beaker’, there’s an entire historical community named after this form thought to have existed roughly around 4100 to 2800 BC. Funnel Beaker culture appears to have been based in parts of Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia as well as Poland pre-dating the ‘Bell Beaker Culture’ we are also fascinated with.

This vessel was crafted from timber framing offcuts acquired from a local sawmill, the Oak itself was from a responsibly managed woodland in Kent.
