Recent Pieces Available for Purchase.

On this page I will be listing pieces that are available for you to purchase. I will try to give a brief description of the glazes etc. involved and the size. I am very careful only to choose pieces that I am entirely confident in. BUT, if a piece does not meet with expectation I will always take it back or exchange it for another. I do appreciate that it isn’t easy to buy pots from photographs. Having said that, I have never had one returned after more than 100 sales from this page.

Don’t forget you can increase the size of the photograph by clicking on the thumbnail. Some operating systems will then allow you to magnify the image again.

The telephone number is 01597 810 875  OR   email me at:
marstonpottery@yahoo.co.uk for the price.  I charge post at cost only and nothing for packing.

I am also prepared to send further photographs if required although this might take a day or two to organise. For overseas clients I can use the post for smaller items although for a larger item we might have to use a shipper. Actually, the prices by shipper are quite similar to the Post Office AND, unlike the Post Office, they are insured.

So, please keep coming back often. I will try to add new items as the older ones are sold. Of all the pages on this website this one is by far the most popular.

Salt Glazed Bowl.

A salt glazed Bowl with Hakeme. I have fired these bowls one inside the other separated by sea shells. The rich orange colour is a result of the iron from the body, the alumina in the white slip and the restricted access of the vapour.

5.5 inches x 3 inches.

Chawan.  Nuka Glaze.

SOLD

A Chawan with a Nuka Glaze. The very high iron content body ahs had an effect on the colour and texture of the glaze. This bowl was an unexpected but very welcome surprise!

Salt glazed Guinomi.

Salt glazed Yunomi.

I often fired salt glazed pieces in a sagger to promote the rich orange colour. Too much salt vapour and the colour would tend toward tan or brown rather than orange.

I have glazed this yunomi with an ash glaze and then placed it in the salt kiln. The fluxing action of the sodium from the salt has produced this variegated, fluid surface. Comes with a signed and stamped wooden box.
