DESCRIPTION:

At first glance, this may seem like a glossy white bowl, but look closer. The finish has a continuous crystalized, almost snowflake pattern throughout. There's a slight pearlescence to this piece and its colors change ever so slightly as you turn it in the light.

This truly unique piece is part of our final big bowl and platter collection of 2024. It, along with the other ceramic pieces in this creation, were created over the course of a few months. We give each piece the ultimate care and precision in the creation process, making sure we deliver you ceramic art that will outlast your grandchildren's grandchildren when it is well taken care of.

We want every big bowl and platter we sell to be the only one of its kind, and so we never make any two pieces exactly the same. This means that you, and only you, will ever have a piece like this.

Since we have recently began a much larger collection of smaller pots (over multiple families) that will take months to create and share, this will be the last batch of big bowls and platters that we sell for quite some time.

If you have interest (and for a limited time), you can order .

Notes about purchasing?items in this collection:

1. TYPES OF CLAY:
   - Stoneware (one of the strongest forms of pottery, literally becomes stone in the process)
   - Porcelain (even stronger than stoneware, and?costs more due to complexity of and cost of materials)
   - Raku (due to the nature of raku, the clay doesn't get as strong as it does with stoneware or porcelain. Still plenty sturdy.
2. Size has much less to do with pricing in this collection than difficulty and complexity of creating the piece. I use different firing methods, glaze techniques, raw materials,?clay type, stains, etc to get every finished pot, and all factors are applied when figuring out the final price.
3. I do my best to accurately measure each piece, but it can be difficult to be exact with rounded objects so the measurements may vary slightly.
4. Any pot labeled as a "seconds" in the product title means that it has one or more cosmetic shortcomings. This could include "s-cracks" on the bottom (where you won't see it), non-standard scuffs near the base, tiny chips, micro-surface cracks, etc. Every seconds pot is marked down 10-70% from what it normally would sell for.
5. Any accessories/props, or other bowls from the collection shown?in the photos, are not included.?
6. Always hand-wash handmade ceramics. Dishwashers are not your friend. This piece, if taken care of, should outlive us both. Always give it TLC.

SHIPPING:?

We live/work in the USA, but you can order this pottery to be delivered just about anywhere in the world. Insurance is optional and can be added to your order.

Please note that it may take me 5-7 business days to get your order ready to ship. This is a big collection and it's going to take us some time to organize it all and make sure everyone's orders are packaged securely and perfectly. Thanks for understanding!

Please also note that shipping and handling is extra. This is pottery and therefore is fragile. It takes some work, high quality materials, and time to properly package your pottery. All rates are factored in with real time pricing plus a materials/handling fee and will vary depending on where you live.
