Bird Baths

Every now and then, the potter has a flight of fancy and makes a series of unique pieces. Although we never make 2 things that are exactly the same and all our standard lines are made freehand, these pieces are designed to be stand alone and not repeated.

The most recent flight of fancy took the potter to make bird baths. She has made 3, and they are all a but different. Today I have taken advantage of the lovely weather to take some photos of them in their natural habitat! (the garden)

This has got round holes punched in the base and a lovely streaky blue glaze with a glassy effect finish to the inside.
This has a wintery theme to it, with fir tree cut outs from around the base and robins around the rim of the bath and a blue green colouring.

And last but not least is the clam shell shaped bird bath that has been dividing opinion! (a bit like marmite you either like it or hate it!) There is Ivy running up the back with a sneaky gecko making an appearance if you look hard for it.

These we will be taking to some of our more garden orientated shows such as the Abbots Ripton Hall garden show at the end of June.
