Beautiful Handmade Blue and White mug, by Sue Binns. Sue Binns is a UK potter, who is known for her blue and white striped glazes. Each piece is unique, yet is in her signature style. Description: Signed (see photos) Holds 8 oz Very good condition Sue Binns’ website: “The distinctive patterns are produced by brushing dilute cobalt over the dolomite glaze before firing to 1240°c. The seemingly endless combinations of stripes that dominate my work are carefully chosen to suit each individual piece. I am fascinated by the way stripes create different visual impressions, positive or negative, depending on their thickness and density. The effect of the matt glaze can also give a blurred edge to the outline and occasionally pulls the stripe down into various patterns. My inspiration comes from Mediterranean pottery, Japanese fabrics and ceramics but mainly from 1950s Rye Pottery which was around in my home when I was growing up. The work is sold throughout the UK, in some European outlets.”
