It’s not often that a client takes you to their home, points to a place on their sideboard and says “Make me something to go here.”
This is especially welcome, when ‘here’ is in a beautiful room, surrounded by understated but incredibly elegant abstract paintings, lit from both sides with generous windows looking out onto fabulous, mature gardens.
A wonderful challenge.
This slipcase vase, part glazed and part exposed underglaze, is my response.
What to say? Privileged, delighted, lucky? Whatever the appropriate word is, I’m amazed to have one of my pots featured in the Modern Art section of Vogue Living, in German Vogue June 2018.
Thank you Katharina Hesedenz for selecting Flat Oval Vase: Arrow Heads (i) and to Vanessa Daly for photographing it so beautifully.
In stark contrast to the previous commission, this one specified bright, colourful, sunny and three-dimensional…
Many thanks for the challenge Laura!
I’m delighted with this commissioned piece which pares back the Arrow Head pattern to a monochrome design, really emphasising the twisted shape of this vase.
Thank you Jonny and Wei!
The fifth video that Arnaud made is of one of the vases in my Tall Oval Vases collection. The woven pattern is generated by straight lines running from one side of the small oval at the base to the other side of the larger oval at the lip.

This, Arnaud’s fourth video, features another of my Cinched Oval Vases: Diagonal (ii). The pattern is more painterly than many of my pots but it still has an underlying structure formed by a strong geometric spiralling pattern.

This is Arnaud’s third video of my pots. This one is of the two Twisted Oval Vases, Arrow Heads (i) and (ii). Made from the same mould, these could work as a pair, although they have now been sold individually.

Here is the second of Arnaud’s videos.
This is of Cinched Oval Vases, Diagonals (iii) and (iv). The shapes are inverted and the colours complementary, so they work as a pair – or individually.

I spent a cheerful afternoon with Arnaud Pitois yesterday making videos of some of my pots.
Here is the first. This is of Flat Oval Vases, Squares (i) and (ii). The inverted pattern of squares enables these pots to work as a pair – or individually.
