Handbuilt, terracotta saltbox decorated with white slip and sgraffito, glazed with washy colours in straw, sap and peat, with a hinged lid made from London plane, a tree grown and felled in the capital. Traditionally a symbol of a well-run and comfortable home, the 1690 Saltbox is decorated with mythical and woodland creatures, inspired by ancient Greek black figure ware, Renaissance ivory inlay motifs, 19th century Swedish ceramics and 20th century printed textiles.
