About the Item

An ovoid vessel with an elemental, geological tone. Tapered at the base, the piece swells outward before narrowing again, finished by two small stud-like details on either side. Jason Wason (b. 1946) is a British ceramicist whose practice began at a crafts co-operative in Scotland, working alongside a weaver, saddler and jeweller. He later trained under Bernard Leach — an influential figure in 20th-century British ceramics — before he established his own studio in West Penwith. To truly grasp the essence of Wason’s work, one must envision his studio; a veiled asylum on a Cornish hillside, suspended “between sea and sky”, where wind, rain and the raw ocean shape both the man and his clay. Largely self-taught and guided by an innate sense of roving independence, the ceramist’s vessels carry the imprint of distant cultures and prehistoric landscapes, echoing a perpetual dialogue between artistic customs and elemental forces. His works have been acquired by the V&A and Tate St Ives for both permanent and temporary collections. Marked ‘JW’ to the base.
