The Whale and the Ship, Ceramic Plate by Annie Sloan
In collaboration with the Annie Sloan, this original artwork has been created exclusively for Oxfordshire ArtWeeks, inspired by the Bodleian's medieval bestiary collection.
These handmade plates are made from red terracotta clay (earthenware), individually thrown and trimmed on a potter's wheel. Loosely based on Delftware 'Blue Dash' chargers from the 17th & 18th centuries. Hand painted by Annie Sloan and fired in an electric kiln to 1080 degrees Celsius.
Please note, the glazed pieces can be used and washed in soapy water whereas the unglazed pieces are for decoration only.
