The Plum Blossom Bowl⁠
⁠
This bowl was quietly launched at Fortnum & Masons back in 2016 as part of the inaugural London Craft Week.⁠
⁠
The smaller bowls are sold out, however, we still have the last few of the larger bowls available.⁠
⁠
This opaque delicate pink glass bowl has a white lip wrap and celebrates the first blossoms of the year in our garden, our Czar Plum tree.⁠

The Wildflowers of Rosedale have been regaining their place in the roadside verges.⁠
⁠
People like @plantlife.loveplants are helping to raise awareness of these beautiful blooms and their importance for the ecology and wildlife they support.⁠
⁠
The blooms we see when out walking find their way onto the glass.⁠
⁠
We make four seasonal limited edition designs every year.⁠

We add colour to the rim of each bowl we make.⁠
⁠
Our limited edition bowls have a colour that adds to the design of the wildflower we are making.⁠
⁠
Our studio production has either a black or white lip wrap on the rim of every bowl, dependent of wether the body of the bowl is transparent or opaque glass. ⁠
⁠
It's a tricky process, and a technique that says I'm handmade.

Our original works consist of bowls, rondels and pebble forms in Swedish overlay.⁠
⁠
This techniques allows us to add a fine layer of colour to the outside of every form, allowing the light to play with the surface engraving.⁠
⁠
You can watch a short film of the overlay process on our website.⁠
