Berry Colander | Matte Green and Redwood Brown

This colander is one of my family's favorite pieces. It decorates many tables and counter tops in our homes. It can be used to rinse and wash foods, especially berries, which then can stay out for eating. It makes an excellent housewarming, engagement, or wedding gift too!
It is not only incredibly functional, but it is a piece of art and its glazing adds a unique look.

It measures 5" wide and 3.5" tall.

It is glazed in ivory with an overlapping glaze of antique blue and redwood.

This piece was hand thrown on the wheel. After slowing drying to the "leather hard" stage for about 24 hours, it was trimmed on the wheel again and the holes were drilled by hand. It then was dried completely over a few days and bisque fired to 1940 F. After cooling completely, glazes were applied and it received its final firing to 2232 F. Each firing takes a minimum of 24 hours to complete. The entire process from start to finish for a piece takes about 2 weeks.

All of my pottery is food-safe and non-toxic. It is dishwasher, microwave and oven safe. To protect your pottery, never expose it to extreme or drastic temperature changes between cold and hot.

Because all of my pieces are hand made, there may be slight variations in coloring and textures giving each a unique character that is functional and beautiful. Use it well, and enjoy.
