Sometimes it is in the details - the smoothness of a glaze, the fine details on the handles, the lines accentuating the shape of the form…this is why it is always recommended to come into the Train Station Pottery Shop to see pottery in person to fully appreciate. It is a bit dangerous though….as it can be awfully difficult to leave with just one!
This beauty is by local potter, Sue Wilkinson.
