THE ITEM
This statement piece of mid-century Cornish pottery is by John Beusmans of Carn Pottery. Carn pottery is the only surviving pottery of the three celebrated Cornish potteries Carn, Tremaen and Tremar.

Beusmans' designs speak to the past and the present of Cornwall, the same place the King Arthur's legend was born. Inspiration taken from the changing colours of the Cornish sea and Cornish Landscape has been combined with hints of Modernist and Industrialist design influences.

The shape of this particular piece is that of a stylised and stepped fan, bearing the decor in raised relief of geometric, runic-like symbols and flora patterns. The decor has been highlighted with copper, cobalt and oxides to create the greens and blues on the white base glaze.

A BIT OF HISTORY
Carn Pottery was founded by John Beusmans in 1971 in the Old Chapel of the small village of Nancledra, three miles south-east of Carn Naun Point in St Ives in Cornwall, England.

Beusmans work is distinctive, often including many different viewing angles and sculptural elements into his designs, he carries out the work of thrower, mould-maker and decorator. Although his pieces vary tremendously in shape, size and nature, the style is always instantly recognisable. All of his work shows a strong fascination with shape, some pieces morphing from one size and shape at the front to another at the back.

Every piece of Carn Pottery has at least 2 distinctly different sides, and in between these two sides, you often see interesting morphing into other shapes. The pieces are glazed a plain white on the inside, and to accentuate the textures on the outside, Beusmans’ uses oxides, applied then rubbed off the high relief and copper or cobalt to create greens and blues.
