Finished Condiment Bowls
You may remember the condiment bowls I made and posted a few days ago. The first set came out of the kiln and I'm pretty happy with them. The glaze is a very pale yellow that washed out in the flash but looks inviting on the piece. I did a little coloring on the rim, I wanted it to be subtle so the pot doesn't out shine the food.
When I was growing up we'd often go to my Grandmother's house for Sunday dinner. She always had a dish like this full of pickles and olives which I love to this day. When we entertain we usually have a condiment bowl filled with nuts or various dips like guacamole and hummus. They are something that should be in everyone's cupboard. What would you serve in one?

Congrats on a good firing, two different salsas in there one hot an one not so hot. Ha.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, that sounds like a great idea, or salsa on one side and guacamole on the other.
DeleteThese are looking good. That nice fat nobby handle givesit great style. I think most dips, nut, olives would look terrific in them. A pale yellow really sets off most food!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzie, that's what I was hoping for, I didn't want the piece to make the food look unappetizing.
DeleteSuccess! I would serve my new favorite combo - hummus in one, olive tapenade in the other.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michèle, that sounds delicious.
DeleteA\This is definitely a piece I have to copy, er, be inspired to make one! I love the glaze and the handle. Ar last, blogger is working on comments. I tried earlier, but we've all been there, right.
ReplyDeleteSure Barbara, feel free to copy...err...be inspired by this piece. I'm interested in seeing what you create.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely hummus and tapenade!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a party is being planed. :-)
