Bloomsbury Market Stoltzfus 15cm Bread and Butter Plate Bloomsbury Market
Description
Bloomsbury Market The bread and butter plate is created using the historic artisanal techniques of Oaxaca, Mexico. The workshop takes the natural Barro negro (black clay) and cleans it by filtering it for 20 days. The clay is then smoked to create the black colour and burnished rather than glazed, by polishing the surface with a quartz crystal until it has a glossy finish with a warm glow. The pieces are then fired in underground pits or kilns, using a wood fire. This creates a tactile finish with a subtle shine. Fitting just as naturally into a rustic farmyard kitchen as in a minimalist apartment, the pieces have a simple form to emphasise the material. The soft, tactile texture is a unique combination between matte and shine.
