Ø 8.75” x 3.0” h. Stoneware with clear-glazed interior and unfinished outer surface & edge.
There is something so mystical & foreign about this pattern but it also seems so memorable somehow.
Maybe it’s that fragment of yellow/beige triangles that slide in from the edge like an ode to Hilma af Klint or that alternating color rhythm of pink, red & grey stripes that seem to reference a specific yet oblique chromatic historicity?
I honestly can’t put my finger on it but, writing this now, I’m pretty sure sections of this recall some of the color plates that accompany the treatise on the Bezold Effect in Josef Albers’ Interaction of Color but oddly, I’ve given away every copy I’ve ever owned (several, over the years) and part of me doesn’t even want to know if that’s the latent inspiration. I suppose I prefer to think of all Slush Club patterns like visual improvisation; arcs of memory or inspiration coalescing into form that also is perhaps sliding back into memory just as quickly.
But this particular design has shown it’s timeliness and versatility over and over in our catalog. We’ve redesigned this into custom dessert bowls, mugs, and a single prototype plate that I try to eat off of at least once a day.
If you like this bowl, look for the fragments of this pattern reappearing in mug no. 2 & mug no. 4. with new bowls in this color field arriving soon.
