Salt-Glazed Sheep Dish - Toff Milway
Hand-thrown and salt-glazed by Toff Milway in his Conderton workshop in Gloucestershire, this oval-handled dish captures the warmth and humour that runs through his work. At its centre, a carved sheep grazes beneath a rising sun, surrounded by soft glaze tones that shift from earthy ochre to deep slate blue.
The surface is alive with texture - the sheep’s fleece rendered in fine relief, the grass and sunlight detailed through sgraffito and slip-trailing. Framed by a rounded salt-glazed rim and small side handles, the dish has both visual charm and practical purpose.
Measuring 330 mm long, 270 mm wide, and 80 mm deep, it is ideal for serving, display, or simply enjoyed as a statement of Toff’s mastery of form, fire, and function. Every mark tells of the handmade process - expressive, honest, and full of life.
