Lidded Blue Nuka on Temuku Stoneware Round Pots by Alex Shimwell

A stunning series of hand-thrown round stoneware lidded pots by Burslem-born potter Alex Shimwell. Each pot features a rich Temuku chocolate matt glaze body with a dramatic dripped Nuka glaze — shifting from blue to green — creating a finish that is entirely unique to each piece.

Made in 2024 and signed with Alex's distinctive maker's mark, these pots are as much sculptural objects as they are functional vessels. They make a striking statement on a table, shelf, or mantelpiece.

Alex Shimwell began potting in the early 2000s in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, where he was taught by master potter Kevin Millward. He now works from his studio in Derbyshire, producing a small body of work rooted in the traditions of British studio ceramics.

Each piece is one-of-a-kind. Glazes and surface markings will vary.
