Softly rounded and flecked with earthy speckles, this bowl evokes the protective shell of an ostrich egg. Along one side, ivory glaze draws into raised islands, revealing warm clay beneath—a surface poised between enclosure and emergence.

Handmade by Kate Metten and fired in reduction, the bowl holds the memory of its transformation through heat. Its open form suggests a shell newly parted, giving sculptural expression to the vulnerability and possibility of beginning.

One of a kind.
