Harris’ appreciation for the ‘relic’ in ceramics finds an intriguing space between mimicry and a rekindling or redistribution of ancient cultural form, her range of earthenware heavily inspired by and referencing aspects of oriental and etruscan pottery. This tea bowl is particularly reminiscent of traditional Japanese Raku ware in format & style, the vessels’ exterior wall a fusing African and Eastern motif — whilst the interior is finished with an attractive metallic gold glaze.

Two early 19th century Wedgwood teacups, each in Caneware with applied Rosso Antico fruiting vines in relief. The tan-coloured, unglazed stoneware was relatively rarely used for decorative or display objects over the period, more commonly used for cooking utensils or serving dishes — particularly a selection of game pie dishes — as Josiah Wedgwood recognised the ware’s potential for simulating an impression of pastry crust.
