A cosy little bowl that earns its place on your table (and probably your dressing table too). This hand-thrown stoneware dish is finished in an elegant pale sage green and cream glaze, where the two colours melt gently into each other for a soft, one-of-a-kind look.
The details:
- Perfectly sized for an individual place setting — a personal dish of soy sauce, dips, or spice blends for each guest
- Just as lovely as a ring dish or trinket bowl for jewellery, hair pins, or bits and bobs on a shelf
- Approx. 8cm wide x 4cm tall
- Sage green and cream glaze which melt into each other and made from toasty specked clay
- Dishwasher and microwave safe for easy everyday use
- Available in other colourways — pop into my shop to see the full range!
Why you'll love it
This little bowl is perfect for setting each guest up with their own personal touch — soy sauce for sushi night, a spice blend, chilli oil, or a favourite dip, right at their place setting. Why not get one for everyone at the table? Buy a few in the same glaze for a matching set, or mix colourways for a more eclectic, one-of-a-kind spread. It's also a lovely birthday, housewarming, or anniversary gift for someone who appreciates handmade pieces.
Need more stock, or something bespoke?
If you don't see enough in stock, or fancy a custom colour, just message me — made-to-order pieces usually take a few weeks and I'll always confirm a timeframe first.
How it's made
Every piece is thrown by hand by me, in my home studio in Bedfordshire. Each pot is shaped, left to dry to leather-hard, trimmed, and finished by hand. Once fully dry, it's fired to over 1000°C and cooled for about 24 hours, then glazed — sometimes with up to 8 brushed-on coats to build those painterly effects — before a final firing to 1180°C and another 24-hour cool-down. Start to finish, the whole process takes 3 to 6 weeks, a little longer in colder, damper months.
A note on handmade variation
Because each piece is made by hand, you may notice small differences in glaze and size from bowl to bowl — that's not a flaw, it's the joy of owning something one-of-a-kind.
Caring for your bowl
This bowl is dishwasher and microwave safe for everyday ease, but hand washing will keep the glaze looking its best over the long run — totally your call!
Kind to the planet too
Every order is packaged using recyclable and biodegradable materials — no unnecessary plastic, just careful, planet-friendly packing so your bowl arrives safe and sound.
