Bowls with case, by David Grant and Graham Unwin

This set of three stoneware mixing bowls in a wooden case was made by the Scottish artists David Grant and Graham Unwin in 1984.

The practical, yet elegant bowls were made by the Jolley technique, hand-glazed and hand-brushed with applied banding in iron oxides. The packaging was designed as an alternative to cardboard boxes, with influence from traditional oriental methods of packaging.

During the 1980s the Scottish Development Agency purchased a number of hand-crafted items for its Scottish Crafts Collection. The aim of the collection was to inform the public of craft production in Scotland through touring exhibitions and education programmes. When the Scottish Craft Council was wound up, the collection was transferred to the National Museums of Scotland.
