Pot with cactus, by Sarah Honeyman

Add to album

This porcelain pot with a cactus was made by the Scottish artist Sarah Honeyman in 1986.

The pot is in the shape of a naturalistic head and upper part of the torso. The cactus forms the hair.

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.
