Porcelain Collection

Our porcelain collection utilises only the finest kaolin clays constructed using complex hand building techniques. The beautiful finish of the porcelain can be described as pure white in colour with a very fine tactile matt finish. A highly polished metallic black glaze is applied to the inside of most items in the collection.

Porcelain

Porcelain – a white, translucent, vitrified clay body fired at a very high temperature (1250º–1450ºC).

Handbuilding

Most of our ceramic pieces have been made by 'handbuilding' this is creating ceramic pieces using only the hands and simple tools as opposed to the potter’s wheel.

Hard-paste Porcelain

“True” or Oriental-type hard-paste porcelain is made from white china clay (kaolin) and china stone (petuntse or feldspar, a silicate of potassium and aluminum). These two ingredients are fired together at a high temperature (1250º–1350ºC) to produce a glassy matrix.

Kaolin

This very fine, pure, white-firing natural clay is used to make porcelain paste. Kaolin forms when the mineral feldspar decays, and is sometimes called “China clay” because of its prevalence in China.
