FIFTH WHEEL

Illustrated is a simple bowl, wheel thrown and slightly squared made out of stoneware glazed in an iron glaze and the decoration applied in rutile over the surface. It was the extra from a set of four, a fifth wheel, long since having found their way to a new home and this solitary bowl was snagged by my wife and has been part of our mismatched grouping of pots that we use on a daily basis. It may be different than many in the cupboard, but this one is home none the less.
"Home interprets heaven. Home is heaven for beginners." Charles H. Parkhurst (1842-1933)
