Nicola Werner - majolica ceramics

Although they may appeal to the collector, all of my pots are designed to be practical items. The work is inspired by nature, European majolica, faience and Delftware and reflects a need for colour in everyday life.

The pots are all thrown in Fremington red earthenware, dipped in a white tin glaze and painted with ilustrations of birds and other animals and with brushwork decoration of oak leaves, mistletoe, cornflower, fuschia and vines. The end result is reminiscent of European Majolica but with softer colours to suit our climate.

Of course I can produce items to any theme you require and if you place an order I would prefer to speak to you to give you the opportunity to state preferences for the design and the colours.

My preferred colours (in order) are
bluegreen
blue
dark blue
yellow
coral
lilac
lime green
olive green
tan
