{"product_id":"sand-dune-large-lilly-bowl","title":"Sand Dune Large Lilly Bowl","description":"\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eA soft and wavy bowl, a statement piece for any home, inspired by my wife Lilly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eOriginal designed as a light during my diploma in 2021, the Lilly bowl was born from a happy mistake. Rolling out large sheets of clay to form plates, I dropped the clay onto a pillow (still making all our ceramics in our lounge at this point). The way it landed reminded me of a Lilly pad, floating in the water, the curves naturally fold and bend to form the most perfect shape. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI left the clay to dry, attached a foot which I thought would help hold the light as a pendant. A few broken attempts later, I did the obvious thing. Flip it over and use it as a bowl. The mold we use today is still that very original piece. It still holds the same imperfections, folds and bends as that one sheet of clay that fell on a pillow. The Lilly bowl was a piece that helped us carve out our own unique style. A piece that has helped Author become Author and one of the very first pieces we sold in our very first collection in 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe bowl\/plate is perfect as a centre piece or used for salads, fruit, dessert or as a vanity dish. Hand made using a press mould, each piece has subtle hand prints, a makers mark of sorts, each piece tells its own story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand Sculptured and Formed: Every part of this piece is sculptured by hand.
