Overview
This sauce bottle, withwide spout and tapered neck, conveys a strong sense of the African pottery tradition.This workalso reflects the freedom to express and interpret a wide range of influences that Stichbury experienced at Abuja. This was in marked contrast to his time at the Leach Pottery, where he was required to throw standard-ware shapes to precise requirements.
