Salt-Glazed Fish Dish - Toff Milway
This fish-shaped salt-glazed dish by Toff Milway brings together craftsmanship, humour, and function — hallmarks of his work. Hand-thrown and modelled in his Conderton workshop in Gloucestershire, the dish is sculpted with fin and tail detailing, while the interior is etched with sgraffito wave and sun motifs, evoking light glancing across water.
Fired using traditional salt-glaze techniques, the surface reveals a soft interplay of earthy ochres, ash browns, and deep ocean blues, each tone shaped by the flame’s movement through the kiln. Both decorative and practical, it can be used for serving, as a centrepiece, or admired as a sculptural work of art.
Measuring 360 mm long, 300 mm wide, and 85 mm deep, it is a fine example of Toff’s ability to transform simple, functional forms into expressive pieces full of personality and character.
