Llandeilo Vessel

Sculptural ceramic vessel from Elin’s ‘Gaudy Welsh’ collection of work.

A playful vessel that has been wheel thrown and distorted with flowing, hand painted floral decoration and majolica glaze.

Not designed to be functional but can hold a couple of inches of water for fresh flowers if careful, or dried arrangements.

Elin Hughes x Leigh Chappell
We invited floral designer Leigh Chappell along to Carmarthenshire Museum to style and photograph work from Elin’s ‘Gaudy Welsh’ collection in the museum’s historic kitchen.
Hailing from North Wales, Elin’s work pieces together fragments from a range of eclectic influences to create a collection of mischievous vessels that explore Welsh identity.
