This platter was made in 1982. Neptheline Syenite glaze with ash glaze and reduced copper and cobalt glaze decoration. 45 cms diam. The ash-glaze at the bottom gives this bowl a 'horizon' line, something I have since questioned. As a friend remarked once, a horizon line challenges the 'totality' of the pot, which concerned his 'artist's eye. He thought a pot should be able to be viewed from all angles. In the tradition of world pottery so-called 'horizon' lines are not unusual.
