Made with Love

Our wonderful ceramicist Kristine Webber – who also crafted our consistently sold-out ceramic Food Table tops – created these beautiful Kitchen Pinch Bowls to compliment the finishes and textures of the originals.

The Gold Rim drips and glimmers, while the Natural criss-crossed finish lends itself to the Champagne Gold powdercoating used on the Table stands.
