Ken Eastman is a studio potter who
specialises in slab-built stoneware vessels.
His innovative collaboration with Royal
Crown Derby sees his characteristic
forms translated into bone china, which is
notoriously difficult to control during firing.
The pieces were decorated with designs
inspired by the factory’s historic patterns,
including the famous ‘Imari’ design in
gold, red and blue. The Imari vase shown
here is the factory prototype decorated
by Ken Eastman himself.
