Is a rose by any other name just as sweet?

Is a rose by any other name just as sweet?

“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” is a popular reference to William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, in which Juliet seems to argue that it does not matter that Romeo is from her family’s rival house of Montague, that is, that he is named “Montague”.

The marvellous Impressed Vase perfect for a small bouquet or a bunch of roses.

The vase, which is textured with wallpaper patterns are formed from flat pieces of clay which are wrapped and overlapped to form simple pieces with function and beauty. It comes in green, ruby and cobalt blue with complementary surface patterns. The designs are contemporary and the nostalgic quality of the wallpapers nod to traditional textiles.

Sarah’s work has always been engaged in the process and the early studio work was concerned with smoke firing and raku firing sculptural vessel forms. In 2006 Sarah started producing a range of quirky customisable ceramics giftware which is the beginning of what you can purchase today. Read more here.
