Ashley Pottery

Ashley Pottery Invercargill.
Beautifully made work with a 'fat' smooth glaze that feels great to the touch.
The colour matches with the backstamp pic, but has turned out bleached in the main photo. Having camera problems atm !

Lovely looking piece Ev
re camera it appears that your flash may have operated hence the washed out look.
Are you able to ensure that your flash is turned off? I need to make sure each time
that if flash is likely to fire that I have turned it off as it resets again ready for the next photo.

Gorgeous - I love 'fat glaze' - is there a technical name for it. love that waxy smooth feel like apple skin. yummy! I want to eat it with my hands lol

hope that doesn't sound too too weird

Waxy glaze is more like the proper term ..... spot on Cat

I love how this bowl is so understated. It feels good and looks even better:

Also a green tea caddy. I love the lettering:

A sugar caddie in terracotta and dark brown. I got it from the "free" bin. It was filthy and somebody had written "salt" on the terracotta with a felt tip pen. Luckily the magic eraser took care of that:
