A soft and wavy bowl, a statement piece for any home, inspired by my wife Lilly.

Original designed as a light during my diploma in 2021, the Lilly bowl was born from a happy mistake. Rolling out large sheets of clay to form plates, I dropped the clay onto a pillow (still making all our ceramics in our lounge at this point). The way it landed reminded me of a Lilly pad, floating in the water, the curves naturally fold and bend to form the most perfect shape. 

I left the clay to dry, attached a foot which I thought would help hold the light as a pendant. A few broken attempts later, I did the obvious thing. Flip it over and use it as a bowl. The mold we use today is still that very original piece. It still holds the same imperfections, folds and bends as that one sheet of clay that fell on a pillow. The Lilly bowl was a piece that helped us carve out our own unique style. A piece that has helped Author become Author and one of the very first pieces we sold in our very first collection in 2022

The bowl/plate is perfect as a centre piece or used for salads, fruit, dessert or as a vanity dish. Hand made using a press mould, each piece has subtle hand prints, a makers mark of sorts, each piece tells its own story.

Key Features:

  • Hand Sculptured and Formed: Every part of this piece is sculptured by hand. Starting with large balls of clay, each piece is hand rolled, bent and twisted to form into a very unique piece of art

  • Authors Special Blend of Clay: Made using a blend of Author clays mixed with sand from the West and East Coast

  • Water Tight: Glazed with a simple clear gaze and fired to 1220 degrees to ensure the bowl is food safe and finished with a nice gloss.

What are the sizes?

Every piece is hand made so sizing does vary slightly. Approx sizing below.
