A handmade ceramic leaf dish — real leaf pressed into grey clay, then glazed in soft light green and brown, made in our Scottish studio.
The making: Each dish starts with a real leaf pressed into a slab of grey clay to capture the vein pattern and outline. The clay is then cut and shaped around that impression, dried, bisque fired, hand-glazed and fired again at 1240°C. Because every leaf is different and every glaze pour falls a little differently, no two dishes are the same.
How it looks: A soft light green base with warm brown breaks running from the rim into the dish where the glaze pools and thickens. The leaf veins stay slightly raised under the glossy finish so you can feel them under your fingertips.
Use it for:
- Holding keys, rings and earrings on a hallway console or bedside table
- A spoon rest beside the hob while you cook
- A soap dish on a stone or wooden bathroom shelf
- Catching loose change, hairpins or small treasures on a dresser
- A considered handmade gift for a new home, a friend who loves botanicals, or a gardener
A calm, useful piece for someone who appreciates handmade ceramics with a quiet natural reference — housewarmings, birthdays, or simply because.
Care: Hand wash recommended — avoid soaking or dishwasher.
