Stoneware Jars for Hampshire Cultural Trust

22/11/2015

I've been commissioned to produce some stoneware jars inspired by some Victorian marmalade ones that were excavated by my brother in law Michael Bond.  Paul, my husband makes marmalade every January, maintaining a tradition that has been in his family for well over 50 years.  As a little tongue in cheek gesture, I made one for him last year to actually pour the hot marmalade into directly.  We use our jars regularly and love the connection that we feel with past traditions and family.
I have been working with Hampshire Cultural Trust to develop and design jars that are inspired by the Victorian ones, but with a contemporary twist.  They are hand thrown on my potter's wheel, then glazed with a white opaque glossy glaze.  Finally they are decorated with ceramic decals that I've designed then re-fired to 800 degrees centigrade to make them dishwasher and microwave safe.  My Bird and Hampshire Hog designs feature, alongside Home Made Jam, Marmalade and Chutney.  Ideal for home produced food.
