Hand-thrown mug with an undulating, rippled glaze by Lily Pearmain, a self-taught potter based in south-east London. Shaped from a blend of British stoneware clays with an elegant low handle. Lily creates the pattern using a percussion brush, creating wavy lines in the slip layer, then finishes with a transparent glaze. Each varies slightly in shape, pattern and colour. The finger marks are visible at the base, indicating where it has been held while dipping in the glaze.

Conversing With Clay | Lily Pearmain Ceramics

“I love playing with clay because it allows me to decide what my angle is as I go and work in quite an intuitive way.” In some ways, the material leaves her no choice. She picks up a jug from the shelf behind her, characterised by its wide, rounded silhouette. “Clay wants to move into this form,” she enthuses. “It wants this generous belly shape. When I stopped fighting it, it became a conversation between me and the clay.”
