Jane Hamlyn Salt Glazed Lidded Jar

What's for sale?

This is a beautifully-made piece of studio pottery from Jane Hamlyn: a salt glazed jar with fitted lid.

The colour is a beautiful, graduated mix of brown and pale green, and the jar is decorated with nice details of scribed lines, notched roulette patterns and punched holes. The cylindrical handle is reminiscent of a bow or wrapped sweet.

Jane Hamlyn is a highly regarded and widely exhibited British potter and a recognized expert in the use of salt glaze, which is the textured, multicoloured finish produced by adding salt and other ingredients into the kiln during the high temperature part of the firing.
