- A rustic and beautifully crafted stoneware colander
- Hand-thrown in England by the wonderful ceramicist, Eleanor Torbati
- Decorated with a folk-inspired diamond pattern, each piece is unique
- The neutral stone hue allows the speckled nature of the glaze to sing
- For lazy summer days eating berries fresh from the colander
The diamond pattern is so neatly painted that it feels almost too pretty to use, but it holds up great as a fruit bowl on my counter. Each piece being hand-thrown makes it feel special, and the stoneware has a nice weight to it.
The speckled glaze catches the light so nicely on the kitchen counter, and the hand-thrown unevenness gives it real character. It rinses berries perfectly and doubles as a fruit bowl when I'm not using it.
I was worried stoneware would feel clunky, but it’s surprisingly light in the hand and the hand-thrown texture gives it a lovely organic feel. The unique diamond pattern really pops on my counter, and rinsing berries has become a tiny ritual.
