Rough outside · Low foot

Pottery left rough and unglazed on the outside, tapering in towards a low foot. Nearly ten inches across and four deep. The surface catches light the way unfinished clay does — chalky, uneven, nothing like a factory glaze.

  • Unglazed, unfinished clay
  • Chalky surface, no shine
  • Tapers to a low foot
  • Earns its place empty

How big is it?

Nearly 10 in / 25 cm across and 4 in / 10 cm deep. Wide enough to hold a coffee table on its own.

Can I put anything in it?

Dry, decorative things — rattan balls, dried stems, nothing. The clay is unsealed, so oil and water will mark it.

Why is it rough?

Because it is not glazed. The outside is left as fired clay, which is what gives it the chalky, uneven surface instead of a factory shine.

Will mine look like the photo?

The shape will. The surface will vary — unglazed clay takes the kiln differently in every firing.

Pottery left rough and unglazed on the outside, tapering in towards a low foot. Nearly ten inches across and four deep. The surface catches light the way unfinished clay does — chalky, uneven, nothing like a factory glaze.

It earns its place empty on a coffee table. Decorative only; the unsealed clay marks with oil and water.

Our materials

We work with solid wood, stone, glass and natural fibre, chosen for how they age rather than how they photograph. Every piece is finished by hand, so grain, tone and outline shift from one to the next.

A QUIET OBJECT

It earns its place empty

A glazed bowl needs something in it to justify itself. This one does not. Left bare on a coffee table it reads as a shape and a surface, and the low foot lifts it just enough that it does not look put down by accident.

MATERIAL & MAKING

Fired, and then left alone

Clay, a kiln, and no glaze on the outside.

01

Raw

Unglazed

The outside comes out of the kiln as fired clay. Nothing is added to make it shine, which is why it reads chalky in daylight.

02

Tapered

Low foot

The walls draw in towards a small base, so the bowl sits lightly rather than spreading out on the table.

03

Uneven

By hand

Wall thickness varies, the rim is not a perfect circle, and the surface carries the marks of being made.

04

Warm

Takes light

Unglazed clay absorbs light instead of bouncing it, which is why it looks soft next to anything polished.

FROM THE WORKSHOP

“

Glaze is the easy way to make a bowl look finished. Leaving it off means every mark stays visible, so the shape has to be right on its own. That is harder, and it is the whole point.

GOOD TO KNOW

Questions, answered

A few things worth knowing before it arrives.

Is it food safe?

No. Unglazed clay is porous, so it is sold as a decorative piece. Anything oily or wet will soak in and stay.

Can I wash it?

Dry cloth or a soft brush only. Washing it puts water into the clay, which will darken it.

Will it chip?

Fired clay can chip on a hard edge if you knock it. A chip on an unglazed piece shows the same colour underneath, so it stays quiet.

Why does it feel cold?

Because it is real clay with real thickness. Ceramic holds the temperature of the room, which is part of how you know it is not resin.

Is every one different?

Yes. Wall thickness, rim shape and surface all vary between pieces — that is what an unglazed finish shows and a glaze hides.

Made by hand

The variation is the object, not a flaw.

Every piece is shaped, sanded and finished in a small workshop. Grain, tone and outline move from one to the next, so the piece that arrives is yours rather than a copy of the photograph.
