Large Serving Bowl, Indigo Rain with Faye Toogood

Faye Toogood's addition to her range of ceramic designs for 1882 Ltd. puts a fresh spin on the forms and traditions of English creamware. Indigo Rain reinterprets the homely familiarity of blue-and-white striped crockery in a new design informed by the spirit of serendipitous discovery. Broad bands of indigo glaze, like painterly washes of watercolour, are applied to rough canvas and then transferred to the pieces — the characteristic grain of the fabric imbues the delicate ceramics with the hardworking spirit of dark-dyed denim.
