Dimensions 22 H x 27 Ø

These charred lime vessel comes from a tree that stood 650ft above sea level a short walk from my studio here in North Devon. Strong Atlantic winds prevail on these hills and an unseasonal spring storm blew this old Lime tree over. Mills turned this piece whislt is was still very high in moisture and as a result its settled into beautiful organic sculptural form as it dried. The outside has been charred and gently sanded resulting in an almost topographical surface with undulating grain lines. The inside reflects the bright tones of the natural Lime wood.

  Finished with a traditional natural soap finish.
