John and Jennifer Davies - 1970's Vase • John Davies passed away in 2023, and Jennifer Davies passed away in 2026 • John studied ceramics in Newton Abbot, Devon during the 1950's. He met his wife Jennifer at the Matlock Training College in Derbyshire. They married and emigrated from the UK to Tell in Haida Gwaii, BC in 1965. • The Davies were influenced by potters like Bernard Leach, David Leach, and Michael Cardew. This explains their mix of Japanese Mingei styles merged with European utilitarian studio pottery. • Their studio was operating under the name "Bottle and Jug Works", and their chop mark is an image of the same. • Buff iron rich clay fired to cone 10 in a gas kiln. They used a tomaku and celadon glazes with an image of a branch with leaves on the front done via wax resist technique. • In excellent condition, no breaks, cracks, or paint chips.
