Ceramics of Scale

“We were lucky to meet Felicity Aylieff and were inspired by her intensity and passion. She created these porcelain works in Jingdezhen in China, an area historically known for ceramic production on a monumental scale. Felicity, who is represented by Adrian Sassoon in London, assembled a team to help her throw and assemble a seven-foot, four-inch pot in sections. She then glazed over her own line drawings and transfer prints on the vessel. The decoration shows an awareness of local blue and white traditions, but with Felicity’s own interpretation of botanical motifs.”
