Part of my collection of summer-inspired vases, the Bridlington vase was inspired by piled rocks at the seashore. Hand sculpted from stoneware clay, each ‘stone’ layer is applied at a slightly different angle to create a curved silhouette. Finished with a light-white glaze, the toasted stoneware clay used shows underneath. The rim of the vase is left unglazed for a contrast of texture.

This vase took around eight hours to sculpt and finish before it was glazed. It is completely one of a kind.
