When Bethan Laura Wood was invited to make a collection for 1882 Ltd., Bethan drew on the ceramic history of trompe-l’œil decoration used for food vessels. Some vessels even replicated the shapes of whole animals, used to often house contrasting food inside.
Bethan has mixed this with the abstraction and optimism of 1960’s party foods, including the mainstay staple of bite-sized cubes of pineapple, cheese and melon skewered by sticks and arranged in an explosive array – otherwise more glamorously known as caleidoscopio di stuzzichini in Italian.
Using a technique called slip lining – where each of the pattern’s raised lines are outlined and then color filled by the skillful hands of 1882 Ltd.’s craftswomen – the effect is that of stained glass, bringing Bethan’s fantasy gourds full circle with a nod to the medieval stained-glass windows she finds in her hometown which she visits on her travels to Stoke-on-Trent, where 1882 Ltd. is based.
