We are the hollows, the shallow, the wide,
With nowhere for dust or for secrets to hide.
From the steam of the kettle to the light of the bed,
We’re the place where the wandering objects are led.
Not just for the kitchen, nor just for the spoon,
We’re the anchors that hold you from morning to noon.
A palm made of stoneware, a gift from the fire,
To hold every fragment that you might require.
I’m a fragment of the morning air,
A splash of blue for here or there.
With ridges high and a speckled floor,
I’ll hold your trinkets by the door.
A sodden bag or a silver key,
I’ll keep them safe and company.
THE STORY
The Mineral Grid combines the ethereal beauty of a rain-washed sky with a structured, grounding geometry. Its sky-blue glaze is peppered with iron-rich, rust-toned speckles, reminiscent of natural stone found along a coastal path. Across its surface lies a hand-carved grid, providing a subtle structural interest that catches the glaze and creates a gentle, non-slip texture for your items.
It is a hardworking piece that feels equally at home catching tea drips in the kitchen or holding a delicate watch on a bedside table. The cool blue tones bring a sense of light and air to the home, offering a poised and stable landing for the small items that drift through your day.
