Functional by design. Sculptural by nature.
A handbuilt fruit bowl with a carved spiral pattern — each opening shaped by hand before firing.
More than a bowl, it’s a simple system for keeping fruit fresh.
Traditional bowls trap ethylene gas and moisture, accelerating decay. This open-form structure invites 360° airflow to circulate freely around and beneath your fruit.
-
Optimal Airflow: Naturally slows spoilage by reducing trapped moisture.
-
Minimal Contact: Fewer surface touchpoints mean fewer bruises and soft spots.
-
Built to Last: High-fired at 1280°C for professional-grade durability.
Designed with function in mind, without compromising on beauty. Made from high-fired stoneware for strength and everyday use.
Depending on the time of day, the dark tenmoku glaze shifts from a moody charcoal to warm, bronzed tones, punctuated by delicate "oil drop" effects.
A piece that lives on your table — holding fruit, light, and daily rituals.

Simple & Elegant
Your fruit bowl has one job — to keep your fruit fresh, visible, and always within reach.
The Spiral Fruit Bowl is built around a simple truth: fruit needs air. Every opening in the spiral is carved by hand before firing, allowing continuous airflow around and beneath each piece. Less trapped moisture. Less surface contact. Fruit that stays fresh noticeably longer than in a standard bowl.
And yet, it naturally becomes one of the most striking objects on your table.
Each bowl begins as a solid piece of stoneware clay, placed on canvas, pressed, and slowly shaped by hand. When the clay reaches its leather-hard stage, every opening is carved individually — a slow, meditative process that cannot be rushed or replicated by a machine. The spiral pulls the eye inward, like a fingerprint — organic, intimate, unmistakably human. The carving starts at the rim and moves downward, following the natural curve of the form.
The glaze is a tenmoku — a deep, volcanic surface that shifts with the light. From charcoal to warm bronze, with subtle copper-like speckles that appear like tiny drops of oil. Fired at 1280°C (cone 10), it brings both strength and depth to the piece.
This is the bowl you leave on your bench, not to store away — because it earns its place twice: for what it does, and for how it lives in your space.
Function and beauty, in the same object.
MADE WITH TIME
From clay to bowl, it is made over several weeks. Shaped, pierced, dried, refined, and fired twice — each stage carried out by hand.
Every stage requires time. Nothing can be accelerated without compromising the result.
That’s the nature of handmade — and that’s where its value lives.
Design
Formed over time by water and pressure, a shell ends up both structurally perfect and visually stunning.
I borrowed that logic and brought it into clay — letting function shape the form, and beauty follow.
Sustainability
Sustainability isn’t a label I place on my work — it’s built into the way each piece is made. Natural materials. Made locally. Created as a one-of-a-kind piece, with intention rather than excess.
Each object is designed to last — to be used daily, to age well, and to become a favourite presence in your home, rather than something replaced and forgotten.
