Catalogue number 75
Artist: Rose Brettingham
Title: Lion Jar
Medium: Wood fired, salt glazed, stoneware jar
Dimensions: h16cm, w9cm, d7cm
Celebrates the idea that useful objects should bring joy.
This jar celebrates the idea that useful objects should also be beautiful and full of joy. The lion and repeating arch motifs draw on medieval illustration, and the wood-firing process adds an unexpected warmth and variation to the surface that no two firings could repeat. The piece combines wheel-throwing with hand-building and sculpting — the thrown jar body meeting the sculpted lion lid.
The exhibition runs until 30 September. Once a purchase has been completed, buyers may choose either to collect their artwork free of charge from Standen House on 2 October, or to have the work professionally packed, insured and couriered by Sussex Contemporary. Delivery charges vary according to the size, weight and value of each artwork and are detailed on the individual product page before purchase.
