Tea Bowl

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.
