Elegant, tactile, handmade purple ceramic pen holder.
Combining sculpture and design, I create functional unique pieces.

This porcelain violet pen holder has a delicate unique design, it will add a modern accent to your home, or it will make for a treasured gift for any loved one.

This piece has been slip-casted from my original shapes and moulds in my studio in Digbeth, the creative heart of Birmingham, UK. It has then gone through a first firing up to 900 degrees.

It has a smooth tactile surface that makes it irresistible not to touch it. To get that beautiful finish I carefully sand the piece until I feel it is smooth enough and then I glaze it. It is then fired a second time up to 1250 degrees to make the cup waterproof, strong and durable.

It is dishwasher and microwave safe, but you get a longer life from handmade ceramics if you wash them by hand.

This purple ceramic pen holder comes beautifully packaged in a gift box and is then placed in a secure posting box.

Actual ceramic pot may differ from photograph. Each piece is individually made so there will be slight variations in colour and shape, which is part of their charm.
