Lot Details
bowl, 1981. Diameter 280 x 80 deep. A.B.: "Both Alan Caiger-Smith and Alan Peascod (Australia) (lot 172), introduced 'lustre' to New Zealand, as guest artists to our national conferences in the 1970s and '80s. Owen (Mapp) made Alan a ring when he was here. When we paid a return visit to Aldermaston Pottery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldermaston_Pottery) in 1980, I was offered the pick one of his lustre works. (Of) the one I chose, he said, "Trust you to pick that one, it's a very difficult colour to achieve.' "
