Last night there was a fun-filled evening of fine wine and larks. I’ll write up the wines I can remember tomorrow when I am hiding from the cleaner. Today I’ll post pictures of the ceramics I was given. Firstly a large, celadon bowl made by Stanley Field: A little stoneware vase by Ursula Mommens: Finally [...]
We’ve gone on a trip to Oxford to see the Inspires gallery’s exhibition of Sarah-Jane Selwood ceramics. Not much of an exhibition, as it turns out, a sum total of five pieces on display. We are told she is not making as much these days because she is busy dropping sprogs. We scored the most [...]
Starting on 27 September there is a Sarah-Jane Selwood exhibition at the Inspires gallery in Oxford. This gallery opened after I moved out of Oxford, so I cannot guarantee the quality of it. However, I’ll be visiting after lunch on the day it opens, just to look at her latest work rather than necessarily buy [...]
Yes, it is another Sarah-Jane Selwood bowl. This is only a little one, with a very pleasing ice-crackle glaze. I am told it is called Falling Counterpoint 1. It is nice to have a good little piece again; the bloody cat broke my last ones.

It is a Sarah-Jane Selwood bowl and looks like this (click for enlargements): We now own nine pieces by her and this is one of the most beautiful. I love it. It is really suggestive. If you [...]
This is a rant about art. More specifically, people’s reaction to art. Now this is something that gets me very irritated but I shall try and keep this brief as it is not about wine. We own a couple of display cases with ceramics on them. One has Sarah-Jane Selwood stuff in it: Look at [...]
I have ranted about Sarah-Jane Selwood ceramics on this blog; OK they are not wine, but they are beautiful things. In order to reward myself for surviving a freaking awful time and a brush with death I have decided to buy myself a little piece by her. I have owned four little pieces by her [...]
I feel extremely fortunate to have acquired a beautiful thing today. Not a bottle of Musigny, but there are other interesting things out there. I also collect contemporary ceramics, and now have seven pieces by the talented, imaginative and reasonably hot Sarah-Jane Selwood. This is a fairly dodgy picture of the wonderful bowl I purchased.
