A round mid-sized stoneware platter thrown on the wheel in an iron-rich blend of clays with a soft semi-transparent eggshell texture that allows the native qualities and textures of the clay to ghost through. Davies’s platter is painted freehand with a quilt-like pattern of iron and cobalt oxide, an inky hue that alludes to Japanese sumi ink calligraphy. Informed by his study of architecture, Davies applies rigorous attention to structure, ergonomics and elegance in his focus on objects intended for everyday use. His work incorporates a variety of British clay bodies, sourced primarily from Staffordshire and Cornwall, often blending them to make specific colors and textures, while taking a minimal, restrained approach to glazing and palette. Each of Davies’s platters is unique.
