Tableware and small bowls

Taking classical shapes, Iona Crawford Topp has used a rough dark clay, which is then woodfired and finished with an old Chinese glaze recipe to create tableware that really speaks to the landscape. With the underside of the pieces left unglazed, the flames have toasted the raw clay, leaving them tactile and earthy. When designing tableware, Iona thinks of what type of food will be eaten from them. The upward flared angle of the bowls is inviting and tame the food within.
