The wood-firing process imparts subtle variations that make each piece distinctly yours. Ideal for special occasions or everyday moments when you want to infuse your dining experience with genuine craftsmanship and visual intrigue. Measuring 7.5"l x 6.5”w x 10.5”h. Dishwasher-safe.

Cloud Blue
Cloud Blue Glaze was introduced to the line of Ben Owen Pottery proprietary glazes in 2023. The Cloud Blue glaze ranges in color from a light violet-purple to a variegated pale, icy blue to a clear that shows off the light stoneware clay body underneath. Ben Owen III often derives artistic inspiration from the natural environment around him. This lovely glaze is the perfect example of this influence. Imagine lying on a picnic blanket on a Summer's eve and watching the clouds float by along a Carolina blue sky. The joy of wood firing!
