John Bauer was inspired by accounts he read of the pottery of the Ming Dynasty from China (4-5 centuries BC)
Archaeologists digging up these ceramics came across the same recurring designs. A sophisticated production technique was being used which enabled the artists to create a multitude of works of refinement and quality, he recalls. "That sparked my imagination, I'd also like archaeologists of the future to think the same of my work. I'd like them to puzzle over the technique I was employing too."
A winning combination of ancient techniques and contemporary ideas, the delicacy, playfulness and sound practical strength of John Bauer's bowls will enrich your domestic space - and the way you think about apparently humble everyday objects.
