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 morning mist, a pale sunrise,
Reflected in these quiet eyes.
With rings of clay and bands of light,
I’ll keep your smallest treasures bright.
A gentle lift, a soft repose,
The calmest path the potter knows.
The Subtle Rise plate is a masterclass in understated elegance. Its surface is adorned with horizontal bands of soft lavender, buttermilk cream, and toasted ochre, evoking the layered colours of a winter dawn. At its heart, the signature "First Motion" spiral is etched with a light touch, creating a concentric rhythm that draws the eye inward to a point of perfect balance.
This piece offers a serene presence in any room. Its delicate palette makes it an ideal sanctuary for a bathroom counter or a bedside table, where it can hold anything from a silk hair tie to a morning vitamin. It is a quiet reminder of the beauty found in a slow, steady rise—a functional piece of art that brings a soft, atmospheric light to the rituals of your day.
