Studio Pottery Pencil Pot in Green Glaze

This hand thrown studio pottery pencil pot has an effortless charm that comes from its simple shape and tactile glaze. Crafted from stoneware clay, it has been formed on the potter’s wheel, giving it a subtly uneven surface that reflects its handmade nature. The glaze is a soothing green with gentle shifts in tone and small speckles of earthy brown, creating the kind of organic finish that makes studio pottery so timeless and inviting.

The walls of the pot curve slightly inward, giving the piece a sense of movement and balance. Measuring 10 x 10.5 cm, it sits comfortably on a desk, shelf, or bedside table, where its natural texture and soft sheen catch the light beautifully. The base is unglazed, revealing the warm tone of the clay and bearing the marks of its making, which add to its authenticity and individuality.

Although designed as a pencil pot, it could just as easily serve a variety of uses around the home. On a desk, it would hold pens, paintbrushes, or scissors with confidence. In a kitchen, it could store small utensils or even serve as a vase for short-stemmed flowers or sprigs of herbs. It would also look lovely in a bathroom or studio space, styled among other handmade ceramics, woven baskets, or vintage finds.

Studio pottery has an enduring appeal because no two pieces are ever identical. Each carries its own rhythm, shaped by the potter’s hand and the kiln’s unpredictable alchemy. This piece embodies those qualities perfectly, combining functionality with understated beauty. Whether used daily or displayed simply as a decorative accent, it adds a touch of crafted calm to any space.
