Pot, by John Michael Calderwood

Add to album

This earthenware pot with a tin glaze and silver and copper pigment was made by the Scottish artist John Michael Calderwood in 1987.

The elegant, bottle-shaped pot was made of red earthenware with an earthenware white tin glaze and then a combination of silver and copper pigment in a swirling pattern.

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.
