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 Ridge is as refreshing as a coastal breeze. Its sky-blue glaze is peppered with iron-rich, rust-toned speckles, reminiscent of a kestrel’s egg or a rain-washed pebble. The fluted "ridges" along the rim provide a subtle structural interest, acting as a gentle fence for whatever you choose to rest within.
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, ethereal blue brings a sense of light to the home, offering a poised and stable landing for the small items that drift through your day.
