SHARED PLATES SALADS GATHERING ASH IRON

For tables that favour gathering

A serving bowl is not a solo piece. It is wide and shallow because the food it is meant for — a salad, a shared plate, a second helping of something good — wants room, not depth.

This one is thrown in a small batch and offered in the studio's two glazes, Ash and Iron. In this run, Ash holds three and Iron is gone — the next small batch will decide otherwise, and the page will say so before the bag does.

The rhythm

How a bowl like this is lived with

  1. 01

    Choose the glaze

    Ash or Iron, stated on this page with its true count; the guide ($8) walks both through care if you are still deciding.

  2. 02

    Serve it wide

    Salads, shared plates, second helpings; the shallow form is the point.

  3. 03

    Keep it well

    Wash and use it as the guide suggests; a piece reported damaged within 14 days is replaced free.

Three steps, no more — the bowl does the rest.

Kept, or replaced

A glaze ages with the table it lives on. The guide ($8, PDF, sent by email after payment) is the honest account of how Ash and Iron should be used, washed and cared for — and if a piece arrives damaged, it is replaced free within 14 days of you saying so. That is the whole of the promise, and it is a good one.
