This is a handmade item, with imperfections of symmetry and finish, which add to its unique character. It is dishwasher-safe, although hand-washing is recommended for all handmade ceramics.

Julia says  "My work is hand thrown in vulcan black stoneware, a rich, dark, grogged clay body. The heaviness of the material lends itself well to a rough finish on the outside of vessels, which I contrast with a soft sheen of colour in the glazed interiors. I make tableware and some more sculptural vessels. I studied ceramics at City and Islington College, learning throwing, hand-building and moulding. I'm a member of Turning Earth, a ceramics studio in Hackney that's a strong community of mutual support and skill sharing. I'm a founder member of ceramic space, a new London collective working with practitioners in design, architecture and the built environment to bring together outstanding contemporary ceramics and spaces".
