In the video, I'm holding Size #2 bowls: a flare-top in Lettuce green, and wide-body in Blue Isle (see my other listing for wide-body bowls).
This listing is for custom, name- and heart-paw-stamped "Flare-Top" style pottery pet food and water bowls in glossy food-safe glazes on a delightfully speckled porcelain clay body. FLARE-TOP BOWLS feature a narrow base and a wider, flared top that allows a little easier access for the pets with a ‘stache or whisker sensitivity — or just because you want your pet bowls to stack nicely in your cupboard.
The interior is glazed with a glossy glaze of your choice. The exterior is unglazed, and is brushed with a rich crème matte color wash that enhances the natural speckled clay body and provides a bit of nice texture for grabbing and holding your bowls. They’re perfect for a handful of kibbles, a big ‘ol can of belly-filling goodness, or some fresh water for your kitty, dog, or other creature in your life. These handcrafted pet food bowls are made by hand, one at a time, so please allow for slight variances in size and styling.
All of my pottery is glazed with food-safe, lead-free, cadmium-free glazes. Though my pottery is considered dishwasher-safe, for the best preservation and care of your glazes, hand-washing is recommended.
**Because these are custom made per order, unfortunately, there are no returns.** Cancellations must be made within 24 hours of your order, or I may have already made your bowl(s), at which point there are no refunds/cancellations.
To order, choose your bowl size and glaze color from the drop-down options, and add then indicate your pet’s name (or other phrase) in the Personalization drop-down option below that -- or in the Order Notes boxes when you order -- and message me with any special requests. NOTE: If no pet name is listed in your personalization preferences, the word “kibbles" and the heart-paw stamp will appear in your bowls.
You can now choose from different imprints/stamps in the bottom of your bowl! If not indicated in your order notes, I'll always use my custom-carved "Heart-paw" stamp. But if you prefer another imprint--as shown in the gallery of images--just let me know in the Notes section of your order (when you check out), or message me separately. If your message is not received within 24 hours of receiving your pet dish order, I may not be able to make the change, as your bowl(s) may already be in process.
With ceramic pet dishes like these, made by hand to order, please allow for slight variations in size, as clay shrinks at different rates due to atmospheric conditions and kiln firing temperatures, and, well, I am not a machine that spits out exact replicas. ;) There can be a variance of up to 1/2-inch. So if size is an issue, please order the next LARGER size. Every single one of these bowls is handmade; thus, no two bowls will be exactly the same! However, I take extra care to try to closely match your bowls if, say, you order two "Size #2" bowls in one order.
Just a reminder to measure your current bowl and make sure you order the size that is as close as possible, or the next size up.
BOWL SIZES* ARE APPROXIMATELY AS FOLLOWS:
____________________
- SIDES snack-sized food bowl is about 1.25” high x 4” wide (holds just under 1/2 cup)
- Size #1: about 1.5” high x 5” wide (holds around 2/3 cup)
- Size #2: about 1.75” high x 5.75” wide (holds around 1.25+ cups)
- Size #3: about 2.25” high x 6.5” wide (holds 2.5+ cups)
____________________
*All bowls are handmade, and may shrink at different rates due to atmospheric conditions.
PLEASE ALLOW FOR UP TO 1/2" SIZE VARIANCE FOR BOWLS. If size is a huge factor, order the next-larger size.
____________________
Pet names are imprinted using my custom-font letter stamps, which are all lower-case letters. I also have numbers; but very few special characters. (Message me with special requests.) And please keep in mind that when ordering the small food bowl or the "sides" bowl, longer pet names and phrases won’t work as well since the inside bottom of the bowl is rather small (see dimensions); instead, go for at least the #2-sized food bowl if your pet’s name is longer than around 10-12 characters, or again, message me with special requests. I can also hand-etch something on the bottom of the bowl, like the year or a special message from you to someone you're gifting some bowls to, like, "Love, Mom and Dad".
Note: due to varying screen calibration variances and kiln firing temperatures, the glaze colors and the amount of clay-body speckles may vary slightly from that shown in photos. Additionally, please allow for slight variations in size.
