A pair of cups thrown thinly on the wheel in porcelain, so their delicate walls are translucent. The foot is turned narrow, creating a timeless yet also modern shape which is a pleasure to hold in the hand. The cups are glazed in a pale blue-green celadon. These are perfect for a short coffee or herbal tea, but also look smart on display.

A medium porcelain bowl with a narrow foot and straight sides, hand thrown thinly on the wheel so its walls are translucent, and glazed in a pale blue-green celadon glaze. The foot is banded with an incised line, a subtle element of decoration.

An elegant bowl hand thrown thinly on the wheel in porcelain, with straight sides and a narrow foot. The foot is incised with three fine lines and my maker's mark is near the base. The bowl is glazed in a dark grey glaze with a satin-matt surface and a slight speckle, that adds depth. Also available in a cream glaze.

Porcelain cylinder vases thrown thinly on the wheel and glazed in a range of colours and textures: glossy pale blue-green celadon, satin-matt cream, satin blue-grey, and satiny dark grey. These vases are perfect for a single stem or small posy, and work well in groups on the table or beside a bed.

Moon jars hand thrown on the wheel in porcelain and glazed in a dark grey glaze with a satin-matt surface and a speckle that gives it real depth. I am constantly drawn to the calm simplicity of this timeless form. Available in 3 sizes

Moon jars hand thrown on the wheel in porcelain and glazed in a creamy glaze with a satin-matt surface and a slight speckle that gives it real depth. I am constantly drawn to the calm simplicity of this timeless form. Available in 3 sizes.

A moon jar hand thrown on the wheel in porcelain. After turning it to refine the final shape, I decorate around the widest part of the moon jar with slip (liquid porcelain), drawing swift freeform marks with a slip trailer. Their abstract pattern resembles a written script; the energy in the decoration contrasts with the calm simplicity of this timeless form. After bisque firing the moon jar is glazed in a pale blue-green celadon for its second firing, which collects in and around the slip decoration. In the kiln this melts into darker pools, which help to define this dynamic element.

An elegant little pourer, thrown by hand thinly on the wheel in porcelain. It is glazed in a subtle blue-grey glaze with a satin sheen and a speckle that adds real depth to the surface. This glaze breaks a little darker on the rim, helping to define the form. Also available in celadon and dark grey

Porcelain bud vases in a classic shape, hand thrown on the wheel and glazed in a range of colours and textures: a glossy pale blue-green celadon, a creamy matt, a blue-grey satin-matt or a dark grey satin-matt.
