A round, solid little owl with wide amber eyes behind green-rimmed spectacles and a chest of fine green zigzags worked through the clay.
Chashma is Hindi for spectacles, and this owl has been given a pair, green-rimmed, over wide amber eyes, which gives it the look of something that has been up all night with a book. The green zigzags across its chest are nerikomi: coloured clays stacked and sliced before the owl was modelled, so the pattern runs through the body and shows underneath. Slice a block twice and you get two related owls, never the same one. Round, solid, and happy alone on a shelf.
Nerikomi: the pattern is built through the clay before the piece is formed, and every piece is cut by hand, so no two are identical.

- A batch takes about two to three weeks, from layering the clay to the final firing
No two are identical.

FAQs
Is it dishwasher or microwave safe?
Our ceramics are microwave safe unless they have metal components attached to them. They are not dishwasher safe, so hand wash them with a soft sponge and mild soap.
Why does my piece look different from the photo?
Each piece is made and finished by hand, so glaze, pattern and shape vary a little from one piece to the next. That variation is part of the handmade process, not a flaw.
How do I stop it cracking?
Avoid sudden changes in temperature and handle it gently. Our journal guide to caring for handmade ceramics covers washing, stains and storage in more detail.
Can I use it for food and drink?
Yes. Our mugs, cups, plates, bowls and serving pieces are made for everyday food and drink. Planters, vases, figurines and hanging pieces are decorative and not meant for food.
What is nerikomi?
Nerikomi is a Japanese technique in which coloured clays are layered, pressed and sliced, so the pattern runs right through the clay rather than being painted on the surface. That is why no two pieces come out exactly alike.
