About the Item

Anna Barlow (UK, 1982), "Gimme Sugar", 2024 glazed porcelain and earthenware, approx. 32cm W x 39cm D x 52cm H Handmade ceramic scultpure - Unique piece Anna Barlow is a London based British ceramic artist, whose work playfully explores the rich territory between visual indulgence and material mastery. Specialising in luscious, hyper-realistic ceramic sculptures of ice creams, cakes, and confections, Barlow creates pieces that are both technically astonishing and emotionally evocative. Her work is a celebration of abundance, nostalgia, and the fleeting pleasure of the edible, transformed into something permanent and precious. Originally from Bristol, Barlow obtained a BA (Hons) in Ceramics at the Bath Spa College University and has since then refined her ceramic expertise through years of experimental practice. Her sculptural process is notably complex: she combines different clays and firing temperatures—earthenware, porcelain, stoneware—to replicate a variety of textures and consistencies, from melting ice cream to whipped frosting. Each piece is meticulously glazed to achieve surfaces so realistic they seem almost wet, sticky, or melting—challenging our perception and triggering a visceral reaction. Drawing on themes of ritual, celebration, and desire, Barlow’s decadent compositions appear on the edge of collapse, frozen in the moment before they melt or are consumed. Her work occupies a unique intersection of technical virtuosity, humorous excess, and quiet commentary on consumerism and ephemerality. Every piece is a testament not only to her remarkable craftsmanship but also to her ability to transform something transient and tempting into enduring, seductive sculpture.

Glazed ceramic sculptural vase by Freyja Dorren Unique Contemporary UK
Located in London, GB
Freyja Dorren, Watering Hole, 2023, glazed earthenware- 50cm Height X 35cm Width Unique piece. Freyja Dorren, born and raised in Edinburgh and now based in London, is a recent graduate at the Royal College of Art Ceramics & Glass MA which follows a Degree in Textiles at Central Saint Martins. Freyja has always been influenced by the life of cities, exploring the marriage of old historical aspects of architecture with new and modern developments into our ever-growing cities. Her interest in architecture stems from taking walks through the city of London, discovering old classical buildings, brutalist creations and high-tech features all within a short distance walk from each other. This led her to create work that is a nod to the past and the present, with a graphic style and finish, combining the undiscerning elements of a city. Each piece she has created is influenced by interior detailing, deriving from places such as the V&A Museum and other historic landmarks within London. Freyja's textile print background enables her to transform the tactile surface to create a unique interwoven surface, giving a current relevance to the object, bringing a contemporary twist to each landmark detail, magnifying repetition, and significance of history when we design. The starting point of this sculptural vase is Victorian architectural...
