Southern Ice Porcelain is the princess of porcelain, it demands a skilled hand and care must be taken at all stages of making the work. I only use Southern Ice in the Winter as it needs to dry slowly in order to avoid the work cracking.
This piece, Lament was put together for the recent Tasmanian Ceramics Association, annual exhibition “40 years in the making” and the description of the pieces was as follows.
“The environmental tragedy that is caused by plastic pollution has been about forty years in the making. All the work is made from Southern Ice porcelain, the touchstones are imprinted with marks made from cigarette lighters retrieved by Dr Jennifer Lavers, from the bellies of dead Laysan Albatross on the Kure Atoll in 2009.”
“Lament” $350 + $25 postage

I like the gloss on the egg, but that piece isn’t something that would “fit” with my current random decor.
Beautiful, but its totally justifiable price tag is out of my league. Thank you for allowing me to drool over it though.
Haven’t got two brass farthings to rub together at the moment, but loving getting to look at all the things you make.
