Miniature Tea Bowl with Owl in Moonlight

An alluring piece of ceramic art by Sarah Dalton – the form of which is influenced by traditional miniature tea bowls of the Far East. The fine white earthenware provides an excellent surface for Sarah’s intricate illustrative work; created using a combination of underglazes, oxides and engobes (with satin matte overglaze). The owl illustration, set against a backdrop of wild moonlit landscape aims to reflect the atmosphere of the wild Northumberland hills where Sarah lives and works. A striking antique bronze interior adds a dramatic addition to the overall look of the piece. The artist’s initials are inscribed into the base.
