THis isnt mine, but this 1930's type of tableware (glazed with uranium oxide for the red orange colour) is still a radioactive product that if seen in a flea market should be avoided. Collect if you dare.
The connotations of orange in ceramics I can apply to my own work- the dangerous quality of the materials are alarming in the natural and cultural world.
Perhaps I will exaggerate this by using glowing glazes so to really emphasize the natural/unnatural ability of the materials....
It is to think about.... :3
