Louisa's New Work - Oriole Supper Set


This is my latest Piece intitled 'Oriole'.
Oriole explores the role of tableware in contemporary dining. The form is influenced by an 18th century supper set. These sets did not prescribe a specific function, instead encouraging sharing and relaxed eating. Oriole celebrates these values. The rich colourful glazes are integral to the piece. The elevated oval dishes reflect against the matt surface of the platter and central bowl, describing the ‘Golden Oriole’ pattern from where it derived.
