Blue and Birch Olives Dish

Whether you like your olives in a warm marinade or with a fresh chill, you can use the interior bowl for tidy disposal of the pits. Or consider this dish for small quantities of an appetizer with toothpicks.

Stoneware clay gives this piece its strength and durability. After throwing this item as one piece on the wheel, I used a chocolate-brown-crystalline glaze for its warmth, with a turquoise-blue contrast for a fresh organic presentation. 

This item makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, showers and hostesses, or a beautiful update to your gatherings.
