Every object offered by Miro Made This is completely made by hand—thrown and trimmed on the potter's wheel, and carefully glazed and finished, piece by piece. Each bears the mark of its maker in subtle variations of curve, form, and texture, as well as those found within the clay body itself. Please note that no two pieces are exactly alike—more sisters than twins: closely related, not exactly duplicates, but still a family.
Collection comprises the mainstays of MMT—the basic forms of teacups, bowls, plates, and carafes that are offered as a recognizable and cohesive body of high-quality work.
Studies are limited editions of different shapes, forms, clay bodies, and glazes that provide Miro with the opportunity to experiment within her chosen medium and expand her practice.
Seconds consists of pieces that have small flaws such as color variations, marks, or inconsistent glazing that renders pieces not suitable for the collection, but nevertheless, still of value. In fact, some favor the greater variations of seconds—depending on a personal preference for uniqueness.
Heavy White Porcelain High Bowl No. 105, White / Clear (very slight second)
Heavy White Porcelain High Bowl No. 105, White / Clear (very slight second)
A heavy white porcelain serving bowl.
Part of the heavy white porcelain series. Generally, most porcelain is thrown very thin and light, in part because when thrown very thinly, there’s a translucency to material that is lovely. But I’ve found that there is something equally fetching about porcelain, when it is allowed to have thick walls—there’s a gravity and heft that is unlike the materiality of any other commonly used functional goods that we handle. And these days, with the price of porcelain clay twice the cost of other clay bodies, there is also an acknowledgment of weight equaling value.
Perfectly sized for: a few apples artfully arranged, your sea glass collection, or Macarons for a tea party

*This is the same size as the one in a separate listing, but discounted slightly because of the faint green dot in the glazing of the interior. (Zoom in on the photos of the bowl from above).
