About the Item
Elemental, concise, quiet. A signed ovoid vase by Jason Wason, marked by fine sgraffito bands and a reflective pewter rim. Likely worked from a white clay body with an oxide surface, then incised to expose the clay underneath.
Jason Wason (b. 1946) is a British ceramicist whose practice began at a crafts co-operative in Scotland, working alongside a weaver, saddler and jeweller. He later trained under Bernard Leach — an influential figure in 20th-century British ceramics — before he established his own studio in West Penwith.
To truly grasp the essence of Wason’s work, one must envision his studio; a veiled asylum on a Cornish hillside, suspended “between sea and sky”, where wind, rain and the raw ocean shape both the man and his clay.
Largely self-taught and guided by an innate sense of roving independence, the ceramist’s vessels carry the imprint of distant cultures and prehistoric landscapes, echoing a perpetual dialogue between artistic customs and elemental forces. His works have been acquired by the V&A and Tate St Ives for both permanent and temporary collections.
The piece is marked by its maker ‘JW’ to the underside.
