Bergamot
12.2 cm high x 15cm diameter yellow topaz glass overlaid on clear lead crystal, blown to my design by Potter Morgan Glass. Cut, polished and wheel and drill engraved 2021. Bergamot
originated from a natural cross-pollination between a lemon and a
bitter orange in the mid-18th Century. It was then grown in
Calabria as a valuable crop for perfume and flavouring food, known in
England for the distinctive taste of Earl Grey tea. During Lockdown
this year, a small bergamot bush in the garden bore fruit. Photo: Katharine Coleman

The Crown Princess Takes Tea 12.5cm diam x 8.5cm high bowl, 4cm diam x 9.5cm high vase and 4cm diam x 2cm high lid stand, all in emerald green glass overlaid on clear lead crystal, blown to my design by Potter Morgan Glass. Cut, polished and wheel engraved 2009. Materials for an imaginary informal summer tea ceremony made with engraved glass. The tea bowl for the Crown Princess is semi-solid. Refracted in the middle is a miniature bowl, a little clone of herself, her small daughter. She lacks a son; that this may not be her fault is not questioned. She sits in the Imperial Palace appearing to take tea, but she cannot drink out of such a bowl, so she cannot participate in society. Tea is at the heart of Japanese society. The Princess has chosen a design of cooling green camellia leaves and white camellia flowers, the plant from which Japanese tea is made. The lid stand is a reference to the ring stand for the hot lid of the water boiler. This piece was sold by the Scottish Gallery at Collect at the Saatchi Galleries, London in May 2010 to the Norwich City Museum.

City Blocks Vase, 28cm high, thin grey/green overlaid clear lead crystal vase blown to my design by Potter Morgan Glass, cut, polished and wheel engraved 2007.
