Ceramic octopus serving bowl

Ceramic octopus serving bowl handmade in Almería, Spain.

Made with local white clay and painted freehand, you can see the brush strokes, the stops, the doubts, and the paint-it-over lines, everything you look for in an artisan piece. José Miguel is a skillful potter, the bowl itself is fault-less and the painting is fantastic. We asked the potter to add some paint strokes in blue and purple on the outside, so even when it's stored it sparks joy.

José Miguel is the head of the last pottery of the town, which was the main village of the area for this kind of craft and trade as its surroundings are pure clay and karst. 

While the traditional motifs are flowers, roosters, and geometric patterns, José Miguel sourced his inspiration and combined traditional and contemporary design. 

José Miguel recommends you clean them with mild soap by hand although you can put it in the dishwasher, the artisan character of this piece will survive longer with gentler care. Due to the artisanal nature of these pieces, small differences in shape, color and finishes are expected.
