Pacific - Handthrown Tea Bowl

"My artwork is driven by my curiosity about the rhythms of the natural world and the intersections of landscape and the home. Motion in the landscape—weather, light, shadow, fauna—feeds my desire to create and inspires the organic shapes in my art. I am drawn to clay’s malleability and craft functional forms that people can integrate into their daily routines and rituals." - Alex Olson, ceramicist

These bowls from our dear friend and tea lover Alex Olson are a stunning invitation into the meditation of tea practice. The white interior creates the perfect canvas for admiring the color of tea liquor, while the complex exterior invites the eye to the color and movement of the rich glaze. The name Pacific is a double entendre: the blues, greens, and bolds are evocative of deep ocean forests, as well as the original meaning of the word, "peaceful". As these bowls are handmade, please expect slight variation in each piece.

Measurements: 4.5" wide by 2.5" tall. Approximately 250mL capacity to the brim.
