For me ‘masterpiece’ would suggest a highlight of one’s oeuvre, one of the finest pieces. This would be a piece which excels both in concept and in skilled technique – in ceramics that would be handbuilding, glazing and surface treatment. It may be the culmination of experimental work, which has manifest in resolution of the idea.
