Pear Collection

We currently create nine different varieties of pear and most are available as windfalls, that is, with all the detail of the regular sized apples but slightly smaller and more irregular shaped.

As with all our work each piece is cast from nature and individually considered with appropriate layers of glaze applied to achieve the necessary finish. All glazes are devised by us in the studio.

Each pear in the standard range is finished with a carved and stained wooden stalk. To complement these most are available with various metal twig and leaf arrangements, these too are cast from nature. When added to your chosen fruit they add a new dimension, which can enhance a group arrangement or stand alone as a more sculptural piece.

Sculptor Alan Ballantyne, who has worked with Penkridge Ceramics for several years, makes the metal twigs and leaves.
