Perfect little Pears

Perfect little pears. Well… are they? The answer is, no, nothing handmade is perfect and, that’s what makes them so charming.

These little ones are hand made using two pinch pots slapped together and then shaped into this familiar form. Once dried, each one is then fired in the kiln, some are glazed and fired again. Some are left in their bisque fired state, but all of them have a carefully chosen, second hand nail fitted as the stem.
