Blue Shoots - Stoneware ceramic vase
Couldn't load pickup availability
16 inch tall stoneware handmade ceramic jar. I make this rage of vases by hand using hand building techniques. It really is the only way to get these subtle shapes that feel elegant but retain this handmade feel. The organic and natural forms of this translucent motif in cobalt blue on a satin white glaze give a luxurious and comforting feel to this high fired ceramic artwork. The high firing makes a waterproof vase that can hold live arrangements.
Height - 40cm
Width - 20 cm
weight - 3 kg approx.

Let customers speak for us
Mythical being 5 is the fourth work of Gordon's that I've aquired, and as soon as I saw it on his website knew that it would perfectly finish a room project that I've been working on.
I find Gordon's use of colour sublime, and the subject here is framed by the blue of a sumner sky or sea as it falls backwards.
Is this a fall from height and grace like Icarus, or something forced backwards in defeat or ecstacy or both?
'Being at the edge of the city' is the third work that I've bought from Gordon.
I was looking for a large, abstract print for my living room but hadn't seen anything that resonated with me. Gordon's surreal, dreamlike 'Being' beautifully realised in flat colours grabbed my attention as soon as I saw it on his website. The physical print was a joy to behold and I saw details in it hadn't been obvious on my phone screen.
'Young man in the garden' is the second of Gordon's prints that I have bought and as a new collector of his work I was interested in a variety of his styles.
The block colours and line work give a wonderful sense of freedom and light; as the observer you have suddenly witnessed another person's moment of abandonment and joy.
As soon as I first saw 'Ginger boys with blue lupins' I was charmed by the sensitivity and sensuousness of Gordon's work. The composition and use of colour infuses a simple scene with a nostalgic longing. For me this image is much more than a decorative piece; it connects me to another man's vision.
I bought a signed print and the quality and colour reproduction is fantastic.
