Inspired by the native blooms I spot on local trails, this Hand-Carved Matilija Poppy Bowl brings a bit of wild California right into your home. I throw each of these bowls from sturdy stoneware right here in my Riverside studio, then use the sgraffito technique to hand-carve the intricate poppy design—etching through a rich, earthy green glaze to reveal the raw, natural clay underneath.
Whether you're using it to serve up dinner, catch your jewelry on the nightstand, or simply display it as a textural piece of wall art, it’s built to be as functional as it is beautiful. Because every single line is carved by hand, no two bowls are ever exactly alike.
The Details:
Handmade and hand-carved at Yama Ceramic & Glass Studio in Riverside, CA
Stoneware clay finished with freehand sgraffito carving
Food-safe, dishwasher-safe, and microwave-safe (though I always recommend hand-washing to keep it looking fresh for the long haul)
Measures roughly 8–9 inches in diameter
Every piece is genuinely one-of-a-kind, with its own slight, beautiful variations in the glaze and carving
