Description
Nick Chapman | Two Nature Themed Mugs | Devon 1990s
Unlike the dark, somber tones of historic slipware, Chapman’s 1990s work utilizes a pale or slip background with applied metallic oxides, freehand painting, and intricate sgraffito detailing, finished with a bright glaze. His output focused primarily on functional, hand-thrown kitchen and tableware, including jugs, mugs, teapots, and wide salad bowls.
During the 1990s, Chapman was a frequent exhibitor in prominent British Craft Guild exhibitions alongside major contemporary potters, making his work from this decade highly sought after by collectors of modern British studio ceramics.
