Kantschaal — Navy Petite

Handmade midnight ceramic bowl — small jewellery dish pressed by hand with vintage lace, finished in deep navy and copper glaze. One of a kind, made in the Netherlands by a mother-and-son studio.

Only one exists in the world. Once it's sold, it's gone.

Like a starlit tide pool caught in clay. The deep navy surface lightens toward a copper-amber centre, where a tiny lace mandala blooms like a flower at midnight — speckled with shimmering bronze undertones where the reactive glaze settled and pooled in the kiln. Every imprint, every glint of indigo, every kiss of copper is a happy accident of fire and clay.

At 15 cm across, this is a perfect small size — generous enough to hold rings, watches and small treasures, yet elegant enough to display alone as a quiet piece of art.

Use it for:

✦ a jewellery dish on a dressing table or nightstand

✦ a ring catcher by the kitchen sink or bathroom basin

✦ a small catchall by the front door for keys, coins and pocket finds

✦ an incense, sage or candle offering bowl

✦ a thoughtful wedding, birthday, anniversary or housewarming gift

Please note: as each piece is hand-shaped and the reactive glaze flows unpredictably in the kiln, dimensions and pattern may vary slightly between bowls. This is part of the charm of handmade work — every bowl is truly unique.

— THE STORY —

We are a mother and son working side by side in a small Dutch studio. Every bowl is rolled, lace-pressed, glazed and fired by our hands — slow, quiet, and never two alike. The reactive navy glaze is unpredictable: it crawls, bubbles and pools in the kiln, creating the moonlit surface you see here. We never know exactly what will come out — each piece is a small surprise.

— PACKAGING —

Wrapped with care in recycled tissue paper, packed in a sturdy box with extra cushioning for safe travel, and tied with natural twine. Every order includes a handwritten thank-you note from our studio.
