Victoria

Victoria

Victoria is a decorative wall panel in the Victoria Series collection from Sciplei Pottery.  The Victoria tower was built to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee of 1897, though Castle Hill, on which it is built, has a history of human activity dating back over 4000 years.  Victoria can be seen as an ephemeral tenant on the rich history of this particular hill, clues as to its predecessors date back to the Iron Age with forts and castles occupying time here. She stands over Huddersfield, a monumental landmark only to be seen from below……

Will she stand the test of time? No, it is just a question of how much time…..

Handcrafted

All of my panels, diptychs, triptychs and pentaptychs are individual works of art, signed and one-offs.    Please take a look at some of my other panels, diptychs and triptychs  in my Victoria  Series collection.  The panels are fired to 1250 C with a plain black and transparent glaze where there is a screen-printed image featured. Then a thick porcelain slip is applied with mark-making around the resisted image.  This is manipulated to control the process of cracking. Several glazes and raw materials are then added to define the mood and atmosphere of the piece. It is then re-fired to 1260 C during which the textures take hold in the re-melted glazes.

Delivery

Our preference is for you to visit the studio and pick up your purchase directly from us.  However, we understand that not everyone is able to do this.  Please see our delivery terms and conditions.   If the panel is shown as in stock it means there is one available to be viewed and immediately purchased.  These panels need specialist packing and shipping.  Therefore if you would like to have it shipped please contact me to identify the cost and shipping method, prior to completing the purchase on-line.  If no stock is shown, then please contact me to talk about what you would like and when I could make it for you.
