	Potters Chop The symbol Robert stamps on his pots is a stylization of “water sculptures” he made in the 1970’s. The mark or symbol is referred to as a “potters chop.” Robert also signs each piece, in small letters, with “Compton Wood Ash During wood firing, pots are engulfed in a river of flame. The wood fuel produces ash which profoundly effect’s the surface quality of a pot. Pottery, that was glazed prior to firing, is enriched from the fluxing action of potassium and sodium which are components of wood ash.
Shell Pattern The unusual texture on the underside of this pot is the result of the method Robert used to cut it free from the potters wheel. Utilizing a twisted cord (one he made for this process) he drags the cord under the freshly thrown pot.. This both separates the pot from the wheel head and produces this vibrant pattern.
