These vases are made in a mould with coloured clay to make the North Pennine landscapes.

This is better. It conjures exactly the views around Alston on a wet and wintery day. Syl Macro and her husband have a gallery there which exhibits and sells work by a number of ceramicists.

It is stoneware. Made in two moulds by layering differently coloured and textured clays. In appearance, it reminds me of Ewen Henderson's earlier work when he used different types of clay and porcelain.

Blackfriars pottery, Newcastle. The BSPM book says 1985-95, so before Alston.
