Small Tea Bowl with Perching Blue Tits

A highly delicate piece of ceramic fine art by Sarah Dalton – the form of which is inspired by traditional miniature tea bowls of the Far East. The fine white earthenware provides the perfect surface for Sarah’s unique artwork; created using a combination of underglazes, oxides and engobes (with satin matte overglaze). The painted blue tits and branch-work, set against a backdrop of wild landscape aims to invoke the atmosphere of the North Pennine Hills in which Sarah works. An unusual turquoise green creates a beautiful interior. The artist’s initials are inscribed into the base.
