Robert Silver (British b.1955), a ceramic service, 21st century, impressed marks to bases, White stoneware with a blue oxidised glaze, hand-built and thrown, comprising; a teapot and cover, 17.5cm high, a sugar caddy and cover, 13.5cm high, two pouring vessels, 12cm high, 9.5cm high and three espresso cups, 8.7cm high (7), Note: Robert Silver initially trained as a studio potter (Michael Casson was one of his teachers) and attended the two-year Studio Pottery Course at Harrow College of Art and Technology. He worked at the Govancroft Pottery in Glasgow as studio assistant to the designer Ken Southall and then worked as a freelance Design journalist for 35 years. Silver has since returned to his practical and artistic roots , “..possibly creating the best work of my life. But, then I’m biased.” His current work is aesthetic yet utilitarian; ‘..the result of a marriage between Bernard Leach and Art Deco pottery, creating a kind of Post Industrial, Steam punk pottery’.
There are minor glaze flaws on the tea/coffee pot, the largest at which approx.1cm across to the side of the body. This occurred during the making process. . Otherwise, all pieces are in good condition with no breaks or restoration.
