“Each pot requires the same care and attention, whether you're making one or a hundred...and I try to be conscious that this pot's going to be part of someone's life.”
"There's a fine line between a rut and a groove," potter Brian Kunkelman likes to say. This idea reflects the balance required to hand-throw each design with the mix of consistency and variation that makes every piece one-of-a-kind. Brian goes with the flow—from the water outside his studio window to the music playing near his potter's wheel, to the meditative rhythm of working with clay. Using little more than his hands and his trusty powered foot wheel, he shapes stoneware into clever bowls that blend organic elegance with everyday utility.

This is a MUST HAVE for every home!
This item exceeded my expectations! From the volume of berries it can hold to its ability to enable washing of all contents, to its artistic presence on indoor or outdoor tables, this is a WIN! Unexpected benefit? It is also good for rinsing seashells after a wonderful day down the shore! Thank you!

Functional and display piece
Needed something that was functional to replace strainer and bowl or cloth and also a beautiful display piece for new open shelf in new kitchen. Like that it's fitting for kitchen as functional but also unique so won't be seen in everyone's home.
