About the work
Two wide, shallow bowls fired side by side in the same kiln, so that the ash fell on each from the same direction: one carries a pool of green glaze at its centre, the other a ring of it around the rim.
Condition
Excellent.
Provenance
Acquired from the artist, 2024.
The artist
Juma throws stoneware vessels and fires them in a wood kiln she built near Kilifi, where the ash from three days of firing settles on the shoulders of the pots and runs into glaze. Her tall bottles and wide bowls carry the marks of where they sat in the kiln, and no two come out alike.
