Three hollow beehive-shaped vessels with deeply cut concentric ‘fins’, made from thickly thrown parian lathe-turned when leather hard. Once biscuit-fired, each vessel was filled temporarily with cobalt sulphate solution, saturating the body and producing a pearlware tinge and a concentration deep cobalt blue at the fin edges. After a further firing, a small patch of fin edges towards the pointed end of each vessel was abraded to provide a stable base, so that the vessels sit with slightly upturned mouths.

Informed by observing the constant shift of tide, weather and light on the Scottish coastline, he is interested in ephemerality and how our visual experience of reality is conditioned by light, space and body. The making of his ceramic sculptures alludes to historic sources, ranging from the industrial production of electrical insulators to the use of throwing and lathe turning by Wedgwood in the 18th century.The introduction of colour in these pieces is inspired by Lees’ ink on paper works, which explore movement and the uncertainty of perception through the interaction of wet and dry, while their aesthetic appeal is enhanced by his technical ingenuity. These pieces complement the museum’s extensive holdings of historic parian. reference term-134737 adlib-term-134737 6bc58f5c-71cf-3b42-a474-04451025c0b2 21st Century, Early reference term-136490 adlib-term-136490 dc5593a5-824a-33dc-b45e-0f5eae0f41b0 literal England England country literal Hampshire Hampshire region Selbourne reference term-37641 adlib-term-37641 d33bd1e6-52fc-3822-a9ba-88f8aa268061 Parian (porcelain) Diameter cm 11.5 Diameter cm 12 Diameter cm 13 reference term-89198 adlib-term-89198 9b93ca03-061f-3c1c-a79f-707511cc4791 vessel history note Bought by the donors from Cavaliero Finn, who showed these vessels at ‘Alter’, a temporary exhibition held at Fitzrovia Chapel, London, on 29 November 2019. reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference publication-8536 adlib-publication-8536 35c1d34c-697a-3eb7-81e2-d5b7bfdf9019 20th Century Ceramics (World of Art) Publ. in 'Funded', Art Quarterly, Summer 2020, p. 79. 79 reference publication-400000182 adlib-publication-400000182 46592109-1ab9-3313-b65d-a372c4cdccc2 Art Quarterly
