Excellent Example of British Studio Stoneware - Impressed MD Mark This is a beautifully executed hand-thrown stoneware bowl, almost certainly by the renowned potter Mike Dodd (born 1943). It features the characteristic "MD" monogram impressed near the foot ring. Key Features: • Glaze: A stunning, thick cream-colored "Nuka" style crackle glaze on the interior. The glaze has a wonderful organic texture that breaks beautifully over the darker clay body. • Rim & Exterior: The rim shows a classic "Tenmoku" chocolate-brown break where the glaze thins, contrasting with the textured interior. • Form: A classic, deep rounded form with a clean, precisely trimmed ring foot—a hallmark of professional studio throwing. • Dimensions: Approximately 17cm (6.7") diameter and 8cm (3.1") height. • Condition: In superb vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or repairs. The crackle is an intentional glaze effect, not damage. About the Maker: Mike Dodd is celebrated for his use of local, natural materials and his mastery of traditional high-fire glazes. His work is held in major collections, including the V&A, and is highly sought after by collectors of the Leach/Cardew tradition.
