'Salt & Pepper’  Sculptural Pieces

by David & Hermia Boyd

Impressively large and very decorative ‘ Salt & Pepper’ Sculptural pieces by Australian pottery masters, David & Hermia Boyd.

Beautiful light bluish green background and black squiggly/wavy circle decoration, terracotta with super smooth glaze, typical ‘ Boyd’.

Organic hand-made shape, well sized and very, very touchable!

Signed ‘  D H Boyd' to base of both.

The John Vader book on David & Hermia Boyd (1977, p73 & 75) shows the Boyds made these in a few different styles around 1965. I don’ t expect anyone buying these items would actually use them as salt & pepper shakers - due to their value and beauty - they are sculptural display pieces however, I’m not sure that these are actually pair - as the shape/designs are different - and they both have just one hole at the top but, I did purchase them both as a ‘pair’ a few years ago. Vader says: “Salt and pepper shakers… David’s method of closing the top to draw up a narrow pot against the pressure of air trapped inside. England C1965”.

Approximate sizes: 

1. 21cms high, 17cm diameter around the base, tapering up to 12cms wide at top.
