Hand thrown White and blue glazed serving dish for serving olives or picky bits, this useful bowl has a central container to hold toothpicks the next ring is a tidy place to pop your denuded olive pips (all very refined!) and finally a larger outer bowl to hold delicious olives. Large enough to use for nibbles with drinks and cocktails, or on the dinner table to allow your guests dip in at their leisure. Although I have designed this item as an olive bowl I think it would work really well for dips and other party food.
The clay used to make this serving dish has a beautiful toasty colour with dark flecks which interacts with the blue glaze resulting in stunning brown streaks, the bare clay toasts distinctively in the final glaze firing. This lovingly handcrafted bowl is art as well as a stylish adornment for your home .
Product Highlights:
- Perfect Size: To share lovely olives and several romantic glasses of wine with your partner, or use at drinks party with your friends and family. Use on the dinner table, maybe have multiple dishes on the table to make sure everyone can reach.
- Dimensions: Width 19 cm Height 4.5 cm at its highest central point (Approx)
- Beautiful white and blue glaze with dark brown speckles. The toasty flecked clay gently browns at high temperature in the kiln.
- Unique Artisan Craftmanship: Each olive bowl is handcrafted, showcasing its own one-of-a-kind variations, ensuring no two pieces are exactly the same.
- Durable & Functional: Enjoy the convenience of popping your cute bowl into the microware or dishwasher, making it perfect for daily use.
- This olive serving dish is available in multiple colours, please explore my Esty store for more information

How is it made:
Each one of my ceramics are carefully handcrafted by me in Bedfordshire, UK, in my home studio. The pots are thrown by hand in small batches, dried to leather hard stage, trimmed to perfection and then handles pulled and carefully attached as necessary.
Once thoroughly dried, the pottery is kiln fired to over 1000 degrees Celsius and then left to cool, this process takes approximately 24hours to complete. The pots are then glazed mostly using brush on glazes, depending on the design this can involve up to 8 individual coats to create the beautiful painterly effects. Finally, the ceramics go back in the kiln and are fired to 1180 degrees Celsius and are then gently cooled for 24 hours. Voila!
This end-to-end process takes from 3 to 6 week depending on the time of year, the rain and cold extends drying time.
The unique quality of handcrafted ceramics:
Each one of my handmade ceramics are unique. Due to the handmade nature of our pottery, there may be slight variations in both the glaze colouration and the size of each piece, these differences should be appreciated as one of the joys of owning a one off artisan made ceramic.
Packaging
All items are very carefully packaged so that your order reaches you in perfect condition. All packing materials are fully compostable and recyclable.
