Kelly McCarty Cream & Brown Tea Bowl

Charming handmade studio pottery bowl by Kelly McCarty, wheel-thrown in rustic stoneware with a warm, earthy palette. The exterior is a creamy oatmeal glaze with natural speckling and a soft drip line toward the base, while the interior is a rich iron-oxide brown—great contrast that shows off the hand-thrown form. Underside is incised “KM,” McCarty’s mark. Compact and useful for snacks, dips, mise en place, tea lights, or a small succulent.
