Largest Oblong Bowl

Crockery Pink reimagines the roughly hand-hewn surface of the Crockery collections with a boldness of colour that contrasts the functionality of each piece with an uplifting sense of vibrancy and joy. A collection of fine bone china tableware slip-cast from plaster models carved by hand, with glazed interior for functionality and raw exterior reflecting the modest surface texture of the plaster original. The process of slip-casting begins with the creation of a three-dimensional model of the design known as a master by a professional model-maker, from which the production mould is cast.

The Crockery collections bypass this process by placing the responsibility of both designer and model-maker in the hands of Max Lamb. Using the tools of a stone mason Max chips and carves a solid block of plaster to make a series of tableware, the design of each formed quite simply out of their own making.
