Made on The Mornington Peninsula by Monika Colic

Large ceramic operculum bowl, mother of pearl organiser divider off white swirl catch all pottery dish, coastal nautical shell beach combing .Inspired by the operculum which is a swirly trap door of the turban snail shells that live in oceans.
Here is a multi purpose handbuilt ceramic bowl most suitable for storing jewellery or little treasures, but can also be used for serving candy, lollies, olives or cookies. Made from off white stoneware clay and altered to get the swirly texture. Outside the bowl is textured with vintage lace. Glazed with non-toxic glaze, but coated with mother of pearl lustre. Fired three times in an electric kiln, maximum temperature was over 1220°C. The bottom was left unglazed.

Each bowl is unique, so if you order multiples in the same size, other bowls will be similar shape and size.

Handwash recommended.

Diameter approx 20 cm
