Horezu Bowl

Hand-thrown from clay collected locally from Ulmet hill near Horezu, Romania, where it’s been extracted carefully for hundreds of years, this bowl is then shaped using a kick wheel.

Preserving ancient techniques passed down through generations, the artisans use colors from local ingredients. The intricate swirling pattern, which makes each unique, is created using a tool made from a cow horn and feather, along with brushes and wire-tipped sticks. The outer is left unglazed for a rustic, earthy feel.

• Made in Romania

• Stoneware. Hand wash.

• Each ceramic piece has been thrown or pressed and glazed by hand. Due to the handmade nature, there may be pleasing variations and irregularities in color, size and shape.
