This is a piece of ceramics made by Bernard Leach. I really like the detail and colors of this piece. Bernard Leach played a crucial pioneering role in creating an identity for artist potters across the world.
My grandmother's fine china was passed down to my mothers oldest sibling, so although we do not have any fancy plates, my family does have these wine glasses and cups. These were given to my parents as a gift on their wedding day. We only use them for major holiday get togethers, such as Christmas or Easter. It is hard to tell from the image, but if you look closely, the base of each class has a large amount of texture and indentation to the base of the glasses. I would someday like to get some fine china for myself to begin passing down in my family.
The China in my house is Mikasa brand. It is from macy's and been in the family since my parents got married in 1988. It was a wedding gift from my mother's Father. It is a white and on the rims has a gold accent. The design is a gorgeous flower.
Humans have been constructing ceramic pottery for over 10,000 years. There are various techniques to create pottery. Coil pots became prevalent in areas where agriculture was expanding. The coils are rolled out of clay, scored, slip is added and they are pinched together. The pots would store grains, crops and seeds for the next planting. These pieces can be distinctively different from one another due to the artist’s creativity.
