Sandblasted Oak vessel that has been treated with wood ash and a light touch of fire before finishing with a Japanese ceramic finish.

Whilst our new Annulus vessel doesn’t reference a specific ancient form it does have elements of historic vessels but reinvented in a contemporary context. The lower half of the vessel echoes the base of a magnificent Roman bowl we discovered whereas the top half of the vessel is a more open echo of the lower halves curves. We choose the name ‘Annulus’ due to the form having a ring-like band around the vessel, similar to certain planetary forms. Whilst quite a challenging form to turn we have fallen in love with its distinguished and complex curves. In this particular case the vessel features a wildly uneven rim eroded by fire.

Finished with our newly developed quilted finish that we’re releasing for the first time, the result of many experiments in between projects at the workshop, something we are hoping to find more time for next year.

This Oak is sourced from Plashett Woods in Little Horsted, East Sussex

Product Care

Our vessels are intended as sculptural and artistic works that are only suitable for dried goods if you should choose to accessorise them.

When cleaning or dusting the works the best approach we have found is to use a stiff nail brush to buff the textured surface free from any dust or dirt. If they need further cleaning add a touch of water with a damp lint free cloth and buff the surface again with the brush followed by drying the piece off with another lint free cloth.
