Studio Pottery Pencil Pot in Green Glaze

This hand thrown studio pottery pencil pot has a lovely ease to it, shaped on the potter’s wheel with a softly rounded form and a glaze that feels gentle and natural. Made from stoneware clay, the surface shows small variations that reveal the making process, giving it depth and a sense of connection to the hand that formed it. The glaze is a soothing green with subtle shifts in tone and speckles of warm brown, creating an organic finish that feels calm and inviting.

Measuring 10 by 10.5 centimetres, the pot has a simple upright shape with slightly curving walls that give it balance and presence. The base is unglazed, showing the warm earthy clay beneath and bearing the marks of the wheel, which add to its individuality and authenticity.

Although often used as a pencil pot, it is wonderfully versatile. On a desk it will hold pens, brushes or scissors. In a kitchen it could store utensils or herbs, and in a bathroom it could hold make up brushes or cotton pads. It can also be used as a small vase for short stems, adding a natural softness to a shelf or bedside table.

Pieces of studio pottery remain appealing because each one carries its own character. This pot has a gentle charm that comes from the maker’s touch, the glaze, and the rhythm of the wheel. Whether used every day or simply enjoyed as part of a display of handmade ceramics, it brings a sense of ease and thoughtful craftsmanship to the home.
