Carn Pottery was John Beusmans; he used muted blue, brown and green glazes over a pale neutral-toned clays and is best known for his geometric Cubist or angular pieces. This cat would have been moulded, then deep greeny/black colouring applied, which has been rubbed back to reveal highlights and lowlights. The colour is a dark natural moss green, almost black, and the subtle raised motifs include a flower to his chest and a large flower to his spine. John was inspired by the Cornish sea and landscapes and primitive Celtic/Runic Studio Pottery designs.
