Handbuilt, terracotta caddy and spoon, decorated with white slip and sgraffito, inspired by Burn, a Story of Woods, Fire and Healing, written by Ben Short. The surface decoration features alder seed, plantain and holtzhausen (a European method of storing firewood), crows of course and the author’s beloved dog, Pig. There is something new here too: a hare, a symbol of prosperity and good fortune, believed to have connections to the Otherworld. Light washes of speckled glaze allude to charcoal dust, which marks well-being and happiness at home. The lid is of ash, felled by the man himself and pulled out of the woods by Comtois working horses at Pasonage Copse, West Dorset, England.
