Symy Ong Hand Thrown Creamer, Shino

A small hand-thrown creamer with a unique hand-applied shino glaze pattern, hand-thrown for us in stoneware by Jynsym Ong, a mile or so from the Objects of Use store. Each piece is unique, as a result of their hand-thrown and hand-glazed nature. 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. Measures approximately 9cm in height and 5-7cm in width.
