California Poppies are not only our state flower, but they are also a staple in my home garden here in Oakland, California.
They are one of the first flowers up in the springtime and the last to retire in the fall. I give them a "haircut" mid-way through the season and they reward me with yet another round of blooms. I love to paint their beautiful blossoms on my work and share them with all of you.

This little bowl makes a wonderful hostess gift or small treasure for a flower lover. It can hold trinkets, sauces, teabags, or just about anything else you can name. Each bowl is hand-thrown and individually painted with underglazes. The materials I use are porcelain clay and commercial underglazes. The bowl measures approximately 4-1/2 by l inch and weighs about 5 oz. Food and dishwasher safe. Each piece is made individually so there will be slight variations between each piece.

I use recycled materials in my shipping as much as possible. I take most of my inspiration from the natural world and try to leave as light a footprint as possible both with my work and my shipping.
