Espresso set (porcelaneous stoneware on walnut) by ceramicist Spencer Penn; bowl, cup & saucer on walnut wooden base with brass inlay. Spencer's making is about the creation of humble open vessels that take its inspiration from oriental ceramics and have minimal decoration, letting the form of the work convey a message of simplicity and beauty. The process of making is as important as the finished work itself, by taking a lowly material such as mud and creating an object that could last a thousand years.
