Waves of Whimsy

This 12-inch ceramic plate invites you into a tranquil coastal moment, where the ocean’s moods come to life in layers of blue. The surface flows from deep navy waves to frothy white crests, glazed to catch the light just like real water in motion. A textured, matte sandy shore anchors the scene, offering a natural contrast that feels both tactile and true to the coast. Adding a playful twist, a tiny seagull perches confidently on the rim, sculpted in stoneware to bring a little three-dimensional surprise that beckons a closer look. Unique in its making, the piece features the darkest blues created by melting blue bottle glass, giving the waves an unexpected richness and depth. This blend of painting and sculpture creates a piece that’s both serene and spirited—perfect for anyone drawn to the gentle rhythms of the sea.
