Description
This stoneware ornament is a single ribbon of clay that curls back on itself, so one end rises to a tall, slanting peak while the other wraps round into a low, open hollow. The fold between them leaves pockets of different depths, all open at the top. It measures 22cm long, 12cm wide and 15cm tall, a size that settles on a shelf or a desk without crowding it, and at 0.888KG it has real heft. The whole piece is glazed in brown, glossy in places and finely speckled in others, with runs of glaze trailing down the sides.
Because those hollows are open, it works as a holder as well as an ornament. On a desk it keeps pens, pencils and scissors together; on a bookshelf or a sideboard it holds a brush or a few small tools within easy reach, and it looks just as settled with nothing in it. The low curl suits short things and the taller section longer ones. It fits a study, a hallway console or a living room shelf, and suits anyone who likes everyday storage to look like a considered object rather than a plastic pot. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone setting up a home office.
It is made entirely of stoneware, a clay fired hard and dense, which accounts for its solid feel. The glaze is the thing to know: the maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the shading, speckle and runs vary from piece to piece and yours will be its own. Because the form is asymmetric, it looks best with a little space around it: set it beside a short stack of books or at the end of a shelf, where the tall peak can rise clear, and turn it so the curl faces the room. The styling props shown are not included.

Frequently Asked
What is the ornament made of?
It is made entirely of stoneware, glazed in brown inside and out, glossy in places and finely speckled in others.
How big is it?
It is 22cm long, 12cm wide and 15cm tall, and it weighs 0.888KG, so it sits neatly on a shelf, a desk or a sideboard.
Can I use it to hold things?
Yes. Its open hollows hold pens, pencils, scissors or a small brush, and it works equally well as a purely decorative ornament on a shelf.
Does every piece look the same?
No. The maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the shading and speckle differ from piece to piece.
Is anything else included?
No. You receive the single stoneware ornament on its own, and the styling props shown are not included.
