Karen Downing's carefully considered hand thrown porcelain enhances the everyday, in use and at rest. The white satin glaze reveals clean lines and harmonious proportions, highlighting the work's understated details: the line of a rim, the curve of a handle, the subtle traces and movement of the making. The forms are elegant yet robust, designed for the table but able to grace any shelf. These pots offer an invitation to touch, provide a satisfying weight in the hand and give pleasure to the eye
