Shaped in an elongated oval with gently curved walls, these ceramic bowls carry a two-tone glaze — matte black along the body, softening into a raw cream at one end. The finish has a quiet depth to it, catching light differently depending on the angle, and the form is narrow enough to tuck alongside a cutting board or nestle into a larger spread without competing for attention. Two sizes nest together or work independently, suited to olives, salt, nuts, or any small offering worth passing around the table.

As with handcrafted ceramics, each piece carries its own subtle variation in glaze tone and surface — a mark of the making process rather than a flaw.

OLIVES, THEN CONVERSATION

The bowl that holds the start of the meal
