There is a moment in the kiln — somewhere between 1200 and 1300 degrees — where the glaze stops being a coating and becomes a landscape. This bowl was made in that moment, and it shows.

Wheel-thrown by hand in the studio of Catalan ceramicist Carme Balada, each piece begins as raw stoneware and ends as something unrepeatable. The exterior is left deliberately exposed: pale clay, marked with the horizontal striations of the wheel, finished in a soft white wash that allows the body to breathe through. The interior carries a celadon glaze — soft, aqueous, somewhere between sage and seafoam — that moves freely across the surface, pooling at the base and thinning toward the rim according to its own logic.

Because every piece is thrown and glazed by hand, colours and surface variations shift from firing to firing. What arrives may lean cooler or warmer, the celadon deeper or more diffuse, the exterior wash heavier or barely there. This is not inconsistency. It is the nature of a process that refuses to be entirely controlled — and the reason no two pieces are the same.

Wide and low, with a gently asymmetric rim that softens the form, it works as a serving bowl, a fruit bowl, or simply an object placed on a surface to be looked at. It does not demand to be used.
