The hand-stenciled pattern of evergreens and berries on this PNW Collection bowl reminds me of picking huckleberries and wandering in the woods as a child. This bowl is just the right size for a single portion of anything you desire. 

This piece is wheel thrown with porcelain clay, then refined through trimming/sanding.  After firing, the piece is cleaned, underglazes are painted or stenciled in aesthetically pleasing arrangements, and a clear glaze is applied.  When the clear glaze has dried, wax is used to cover and protect the design while the rest of the piece is glazed.

The photographs for this listing are an example, not the exact piece you will receive.  Because each piece is handmade, there may be slight variations in size and shape, the placement of the pattern, depth, and color ranges of the glaze.  Rather than considering these to be imperfections, I believe they are part of what makes each piece uniquely beautiful.

This piece is lead free and food safe. It can be microwaved and washed in the dishwasher. However, as with any special and delicate item, not exposing it to hot/cold extremes, and hand-washing is the kinder option.
