Small White Handmade Pottery Sugar Pot with Lid and Midsummer Flower Design

This small handmade ceramic container with a lid has a white background colour with a delicate design of rainbow coloured flowers encircling the base. This small pot with it’s carefully angled lid combines functionality with artistic elegance, making it a perfect addition to any space. The snug fitting lid allows for safe storage of sugar, small treasures or essentials.

The design on these lidded pots are inspired by the joy I feel in my garden on a midsummer's evening . A slip and sgraffito technique is used to create the flowers; the stems of the colourful flowers being etched through the white slip and into the clay behind. This technique adds depth and texture to the flower design and reflects a fusion of artistry and functionality.

Whether used as a functional container or displayed as a decorative piece, it brings a fusion of the functional beauty of a handmade treasure and artistic expression of the natural world into your home.

These small containers with lids are hand thrown on my potter’s wheel in my garden studio in Kent, UK. The clay is fired with a transparent glaze inside and out, with the detailing at the base and at the lid being left unglazed. My maker’s mark is stamped into the base of the pot.
