Handmade Berry Bowl Colander on Leaf Tray

Description

A beautiful way to store and serve fresh berries.

It's actually a colander that I put holes into while the clay was soft. The bowl was made on my pottery wheel out of porcelain clay. I added the little undulating rim while the clay was soft.

I made the tray that it sits on by rolling out clay and impressing a cabbage leaf into it for texture. The glaze on the leaf and the leaf legs of this berry bowl is a pretty translucent celery celedon while the rest of the bowl is glazed in a gorgeous water blue celedon. It's a beautiful combination.

This berry bowl will hold a 2 lbs of fresh strawberries, maybe more, and is 4" high x 7" across. I signed the leaf on its bottom.

Safe for use in the microwave and dishwasher.
