We call "our star" The Sun. Others call it the Sunne, Sünn, Sonne, Sinne, Sunna, Sunnō, Sauil, Slunce, Sōl, or Sól. The Greeks call it Hēlios and the Welsh call it Haul.
For billions of years, the Earth has been flourishing thanks to the Sun's heat and light—which takes about eight minutes to get from he Sun to the Earth.
We end our parade of "Solar Ceramics" with this handsome and imposing piece by Pilkington Royal Lancastrian. It was made in England in the Twenties or Thirties. It wears the handsome "curdled" glazes—yellow and orange—which have inspired this week's exploration of the Sun. It would make a substantial impact in your home, either standing alone or centering a collection of orange pottery. With approximately one billion years left on Earth—before the Sun expands, over-heats and swallows the planet—one has many years left to enjoy this handsome piece.
