About this piece
A bowl from a potter who built a career on firing for variation rather than perfection. Robert Barron spent years working alongside wood-firing potters overseas, including a visit to Michael Cardew, before returning to establish Gooseneck Pottery at Kardella in Victoria in 1984, where he built one of the largest wood-fired kilns in the country and fires it once a year. The lineage runs back through Cardew to Bernard Leach, the Anglo-Japanese tradition that put function and honest material first.
All of that shows in the finish: ash, warmth, and small irregularities that belong to the kiln rather than the bench. The form is simple in the right way, open and useful, not trying to perform beyond its job. The firing does the talking. Good Australian studio pottery usually is exactly this: function first, but never plain.
