Symy Ong Hand-Thrown Cutlery Drainer, Shino

A useful, generously sized draining  pot for drying kitchen utensils and cutlery after washing, hand-thrown for us in stoneware by Jynsym Ong, a mile or so from the Objects of Use store. With a beautiful, hand applied shino glaze. Trained at Clay College, Stoke-On-Trent, Ong then undertook an apprenticeship at Mitoh Gama (Kiln) in Karatsu, Saga Prefecture. She often uses a kick wheel to impart a rhythm that is completely dictated by the body to her work. Ong recently set up studio in Oxford, making stoneware pieces which are fired in a gas kiln. 11.5cm tall, 10.5cm diameter, approximately.
