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.
A ghost of harvest on my skin,
I’ll let the morning light come in.
With cream and speckle, soft and pale,
I’m the anchor for a quiet tale.
A tea leaf rest or a button tray,
I’ll help you through your busy day.
The Pale Stalk plate is a celebration of the harvest in its simplest, most ethereal form. Hand-etched with delicate, grain-like stalks that seem to sway within the clay, its buttermilk glaze is light and airy. This translucent finish allows the natural, dark speckle of the stoneware to peek through like seeds in the soil.
While it is a sturdy accomplice in the kitchen, its soft aesthetic makes it a perfect match for a wooden tea tray or a white marble bathroom counter. It is a versatile sanctuary for a sodden tea bag, a damp bar of soap, or the rings you remove before sleep. It feels organic and calm, bringing a touch of the meadow into the home.
