Personalised Ceramic Serving Bowl ~ White & Blue

There’s something lovely about putting a big bowl in the middle of the table for everyone to share from, and this handmade ceramic serving bowl is perfect for just that. Generously sized, it’s ideal for piling high with roasted veggies, a yummy fresh salad, or a mountain of pasta for a family dinner or summer BBQ. I also love it for more casual meals, like a big bowl of crisps when friends are over, or even filled with fruit, so there’s always something to grab.  A proper kitchen staple for anyone who appreciates the beauty of handmade ceramics.  You can customise your ceramic plate with a personalised name or message. Just include your request in the name/message box below, including any upper/lower cases and punctuation. All custom ceramics will be ready to ship within 10-12 working days. PERSONALISED PIECES Personalised orders will be ready to ship within 10-12 working days. Please type your name/message below as you would like stamped, including upper and lower cases, and any punctuation. To create your custom ceramic, I stamp the clay when it’s still wet, then fire it. After the first firing, I add the black glaze to the letters before firing for a final time. Please note: As these handmade ceramic pieces are made to order, all personalised pieces are non-returnable. DIMENSIONS This ceramic serving bowl measures approximately Height: 11cm Width: 18cm  Please note: Sizes and colours may vary slightly from the image due to the handmade process. HOW IT IS MADE Every ceramic piece is hand-thrown on my potter’s wheel in my home studio in Wiltshire. It starts as a simple ball of clay, which I shape by hand on the wheel. The next day, I carefully trim your handmade ceramic and allow it to dry slowly for about a week. Once dry, your item is bisque-fired at 1000 degrees, transforming it into strong bisque ware and left to cool.  I create all my own glazes from dry ingredients, blending unique colours exclusive to Libby Ballard ceramics. When the bisque firing is complete, I apply these glazes by hand, either by dipping your piece or pouring the glaze, before wiping the base clean.  Your ceramic is then fired again at 1260 degrees for its final firing, transforming it into durable stoneware. Once it’s cooled, I unload your handmade ceramic piece from the kiln, give it a quick quality check, and it’s ready to be packaged.  To ensure a safe delivery, I wrap your handmade pottery in paper bubble wrap and tissue paper, and pop it in an eco-friendly box protected with corn-starch loose fill. I always try to keep packaging minimal and sustainable, while making sure your ceramics arrive at their new home (i.e. your home) in one piece!
