Salt-Glazed Apple Pie Dish - Toff Milway
This beautifully crafted salt-glazed pie dish by Toff Milway celebrates both craftsmanship and the pleasures of the table. Hand-thrown in his Conderton workshop in Gloucestershire, the piece is richly decorated with a carved apple motif at its centre, framed by a border of hand-tooled leaves and fruit, all slip-trailed and highlighted by the natural movement of the salt glaze.
The glaze itself - a harmony of warm honey, chestnut and soft ash tones — is created in the kiln, where salt vapour fuses with the clay to produce a gently mottled, durable surface. The result is a dish that is as functional as it is beautiful, made for baking, serving or display.
With its 350 mm diameter, generous depth and subtle side handles, this piece exemplifies Toff’s belief that pottery should be used and enjoyed - everyday objects elevated through form, material and the maker’s hand.
