Ceramic: 18cm Rectangular Shallow Dish - Handcrafted in our Derwent Valley Clay
Derwent Valley Clay we occasionally handcraft some of our ceramic pots using local clay sourced directly from the Derwent Valley. This material is the historic Mercia Mudstone, or "Keuper Marl," a Triassic deposit formed over 200 million years ago whose iconic red-brown hue is derived from oxidised iron minerals. While this resilient mudstone famously earned Derby its reputation as a "brick city," we transform this local raw material into refined, individual works of art, ensuring that every pot possesses its own distinct character, size, and tonal variation.
