Fish Plate - Toff Milway
This striking round salt-glazed plate by Toff Milway exemplifies the harmony of craftsmaship and function that defines his work. Hand-thrown in his Conderton workshop, the piece features a swirling design of fish in motion, their fluid forms carved and slip-trailed in deep blues and soft ochres.
The border combines textured sgraffito and roulette decoration, creating a rhythmic surface that catches the salt glaze's subtle sheen. The result is both decorative and practical - a celebration of the handmade, grounded in Toff's belief that pottery should be used and enjoyed.
Each place bears the unique character of the kiln, making every piece a one-of-a-kind expression of the firing process itself.
