David Stonehouse Cylinder Bottle Vase
Cambridge-based potter, David Stonehouse has created this collection of wheel-thrown stoneware exclusively for Kettle's Yard. The range is inspired by his frequent visits to Jim Ede’s beautiful Kettle’s Yard home, and references some of its familiar motifs and hidden treasures. Some pieces are one-offs while others are repeated with subtle variations.

About David Stonehouse:
David is a Cambridge-based designer-maker, who combines contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship to produce refined objects. He uses a restricted palette of materials to allow these to be at the forefront of each piece, often celebrating the tactile contrast between raw clay and glazed areas. His hand-thrown domestic ware is the product of an ongoing refinement of form, function and detailing, to enrich everyday occasions. Although striving for consistency, he values the variation that hand-crafting produces, which he sees as helping to connect the user with the maker.
