About the Item
An exceptional and rare tabletop pottery sculpture by Tony Evans, distinguished by its unglazed form adorned with expressive glaze splashes, and finished through a traditional Raku firing process. The tactile surface and spontaneous glaze patterns reveal the dynamic nature of this firing technique, which imparts unique textures and unpredictable effects to each piece.
This sculpture is signed by the artist and marked with the number 57, indicating its mold shape. However, this particular form is uncommon—searches for the number reveal different pieces—suggesting that it was likely produced in very limited quantities or as a unique variant.
About Tony Evans (1942–2009):
Tony Evans was a Welsh-born artist renowned for his mastery of the Raku firing technique, a traditional Japanese method adapted by Western potters. In this process, ceramic pieces are fired at high temperatures and then rapidly cooled in combustible materials, resulting in distinctive crackled surfaces and iridescent glazes. Evans's work often drew inspiration from natural forms and ancient artifacts, reflecting a deep appreciation for organic aesthetics. His pieces are celebrated for their sculptural quality and the interplay of form and surface.
Evans's ceramics are featured in various collections and have been recognized for their artistic and technical excellence. His innovative approach to Raku pottery has left a lasting impact on the field.
