Unearthed Seam Agate Bowl

$345.00
Only 1 available

This one-off ceramic bowl is inspired by the quiet beauty of seam agate — the thin, vibrant bands that naturally form when minerals fill ancient fissures in stone. No molds, no repeats: this piece exists only once, crafted entirely by hand.

Layered, flowing glazes sweep across the surface in organic, banded patterns that echo the movement of mineral-rich solutions through rock. Subtle gradients, soft transitions, and delicate variations create a depth reminiscent of genuine agate formations. Threaded through these layers are hand-applied gold lustre seams, shimmering like metallic mineral veins. These luminous accents trace the bowl’s surfaces and catch the light with a refined, jewel-like glint.

The bowl’s form is intentionally understated — crisp straight edges and a clean, modern profile — allowing the glaze work and gold highlights to take center stage. As a singular artwork, it stands alone: expressive, thoughtfully made, and impossible to recreate.

Perfect as a functional vessel or a sculptural statement piece, this bowl brings together geological inspiration, contemporary craftsmanship, and the rarity of owning a truly one-of-a-kind work.

Each piece is individually made and size and markings may vary slightly which is of course the beauty of a functional artwork like this.
