Julie Peel Ceramics
Add a touch of a simplistic, gestural beauty to your homeware collection with this large sized Wild Wave bowl by Julie Peel Ceramics.
The Wild Wave collection by Julie Peel Ceramics is a reflection on her connection with the North Sea of her childhood, and the wildness of that coastline. The distinctive design is created by incising leather-hard porcelain with the wave design and inlaying black slip. The piece is then bisque fired to about 980C before applying a smooth opaque matte white glaze to the inner surface. The glaze used reflects the beautiful white inner surfaces of shells commonly found on UK shores such as cockles, winkles and whelks. After glaze firing the external incised surface is diamond-polished giving a gorgeously silky finish, just like sea-washed pebbles.
Each piece is handmade and unique, so patterns will vary piece to piece.
The bowl is food and microwave safe. It's also dishwasher safe but handwashing is recommended.
British ceramicist Julie Peel is the 2025 winner of the Ashmolean x Handmade in Oxford competition to be stocked in the Ashmolean Shop. Julie makes elegant but functional monochrome pieces in stoneware and porcelain, thrown on the wheel and hand-built. Much of her work is inspired by the coastline of the North East of England with a particular interest in protecting the coastal and marine environments.
Materials: Wheel-thrown porcelain
Dimensions: Approx. 7 x 16cm, sizes will vary due to being handmade
