This dish is small, flexible, and easy to live with. The raised form gives it presence without taking up much space, making it useful in the moments where you want to gather a few things together rather than spread them out.
Set it out with nuts or cheese while cooking; use it to hold berries or sliced fruit at breakfast, or keep it on a table or shelf as a place to rest small objects. The elevated shape keeps whatever you place in it feeling intentional, even when the contents are simple.
Each dish is hand-built in Philadelphia using the Nerikomi technique, which layers dyed clay to create a stone-like pattern. No two are exactly alike, and those variations are part of what makes each piece feel personal rather than uniform.
