A hand-thrown white salt pig/cellar, with a leather loop handle. Perfect to keep out on the side in your kitchen.

Care: Dishwasher safe (remove the leather first).

Dimensions: 13cm x 13 cm

Making process:

All of my pottery is handmade in my rural farm studio just outside of Exeter, Devon in the southwest of England. I use a white, high fire stoneware clay.

Firstly the body of the pot is thrown on the wheel using the white clay. After a couple of days (weather dependent), the clay will have dried to a “leather-hard” state and can be turned and a hole added for the leather to be inserted after firing.

Once the piece is “bone dry” (this is called “greenware”) it is fired to 1000 degrees Celsius. The piece is dipped in my own handmade glazes and fired to 1270 degrees Celsius in my electric kiln.
