I shaped this handbuilt pottery trinket bowl in blue by slowly forming high quality stoneware clay with my hands, letting the edges rise and ripple in a way that feels natural and quietly expressive. The form is inspired by petals and seaforms, and each curve emerges from the rhythm of working directly with the clay. Once the shape felt right, I bisque fired it, glazed every surface by hand, and high fired it for strength and durability.
 
The glaze leans into layered blues, from soft turquoise to deeper ocean tones, with subtle hints of green that catch the light. The center is smooth and glossy, while the outer edges have a softly textured finish that invites touch. At about 6 inches wide and 3 inches tall, it is a compact sculptural piece that fits beautifully into small spaces.
 
This handbuilt pottery trinket bowl in blue works well for holding jewelry, keys, or small keepsakes. It also adds a serene, coastal touch to a shelf, vanity, or side table. Crafted in Charlotte NC, it is often chosen by home décor lovers, collectors, stagers, and anyone looking for a meaningful handcrafted gift that feels unique and versatile.
