Bring a touch of nature to your table with our Hand-Carved California Poppy Ceramic bowl, a beautifully detailed piece handcrafted at Yama Ceramics Studio. This plate features a striking hand-carved poppy design — inspired by California’s state flower — surrounded by a deep green glaze that highlights every intricate line of the floral motif.
Each piece is carefully carved using the sgraffito technique, where the surface layer of glaze is etched away to reveal the natural clay beneath. The result is a timeless, textural work of art that’s as functional as it is beautiful. Perfect as a serving plate, decorative wall piece, or jewelry dish, this plate celebrates the harmony of craftsmanship and the natural world.
