Lidded Jar
Potter: Waal, Edmund de
Limoges porcelain, thrown, and covered with very pale bluish-green, translucent, celadon glaze. Cylindrical slightly squashed on one side, with horizontal throwing rings, and two spaced horizontal `seams'. The jar has a short shoulder, with an incurved placement for the lid, which is circular with straight sides, and a very slightly convex top. The jar is decorated with a large, a medium, and a small applied darn motif, the medium-sized more or less below the large, and the small, lower and further to the left. The glaze is applied to the interior and to the exterior, except for the base, the placement for the lid, and the lower edge of the lid. The glaze is irregularly crazed inside and outside (presumably deliberately).

Text from object entry in A. Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Edmund de Waal has become one of the most high-profile contemporary potters working in the UK today. He studied English at the University of Cambridge, and Ceramics with the potter Geoffrey Whiting (1919–88) and also in Japan. His scholarship of both the history and practice of ceramics has been recognized in a succession of museum shows, both nationally and internationally, as both curator and artist, including at the Geffrye Museum (2002–03); The Fitzwilliam Museum (2013–14) and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna (2014). His current work is characterized by large-scale installations of porcelain vessels, inspired by an interest in the relationships between ceramics, architecture and music. He is also an acclaimed author. The Hare with Amber Eyes, published in 2011, has been translated into 30 languages and has won significant literary prizes. He was awarded an OBE for services to art in 2011. In 2014 Emma Crichton- Miller wrote a monograph on his work, which was published by Phaidon.
