This Handmade Straw Bear Ceramic Dish from Sand Pottery has been handcrafted in Liverpool based pottery studio by Caroline Sandford-Muir.

The stoneware clay has been moulded into a shallow oval dish and sgraffio has been used to draw the fine details of the folklore costume. Underglazes and glazes have been used to paint in the straw, and the dish then glazed and fired. 

The Straw Bear is an English folklore figure and central to the Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival which takes place each January in Cambridgeshire. The costume is a 7-foot-tall straw-covered outfit.
