Studio Pottery Olive Bowl with Green and Charcoal Glaze

This handmade studio pottery olive bowl brings rich colour and natural texture to the table. Measuring 17 cm by 14 cm by 5 cm, it is perfectly sized for serving olives, nuts or small side dishes, and can also be enjoyed purely as a decorative piece.

The bowl is hand built in stoneware and shaped with gentle irregularities that celebrate the maker’s process. The exterior is finished in a deep charcoal glaze with subtle speckles, while the interior features a glossy olive green pool of colour that adds depth and visual interest. The contrast between the textured outside and smooth interior makes the bowl a striking example of contemporary studio ceramics.

This versatile piece works in both casual and formal settings. Use it on a dining table for appetisers, as part of a grazing platter, or on a coffee table filled with snacks. Away from the kitchen, it can hold keys in a hallway, serve as a catchall for jewellery, or simply add a touch of handmade artistry to a shelf or sideboard.

Every studio pottery item is unique, and this bowl’s slight variations in glaze and form are part of its appeal. The maker’s hand is evident in the softly organic rim and the layered glaze effects, giving it a sense of movement and individuality.

Condition is excellent. The glaze retains its full lustre and there are no chips, cracks or significant signs of wear. It has been well cared for and is ready to use or display.

Whether you are adding to a growing collection of studio pottery or simply looking for a beautiful serving bowl with character, this green and charcoal glazed olive bowl will bring warmth and craftsmanship to everyday living.
