A hand-built stoneware bowl on a low foot by British ceramicist John Maltby. The shallow form is finished in a blue-grey glaze, with the surface decorated with stylised floral and starburst motifs in white with pale yellow highlights.
John Maltby (1936–2020) was a British ceramicist whose practice evolved from functional studio pottery towards increasingly pictorial and sculptural forms. He trained under Bernard Leach and later worked at David Leach’s workshop in Devon. His work is recognised for its narrative imagery and distinctive surface decoration within post-war British studio ceramics.
