This handmade wheel thrown berry colander on leaf plate featuring my Save the Bees design is a unique and wonderful gift to yourself or someone special. It is a beautiful way to store and serve fresh berries. It's actually a ceramic berry bowl or kitchen strainer that I put holes into while the clay was soft. The design features colorful flowers in shades of peach and orange with some happy buzzing bumblebees. I made the tray that it sits on by rolling out clay and adding a little stem and some 'veins' in the leaf. This berry bowl will hold around 4-5 cups of berries and is 6" high x 7" across. I signed the leaf on its bottom. This colander is durable enough for use in the dishwasher and microwave (should you wish to steam some vegetables in the colander). This listing is for the berry bowl in the first photos, but as you can see in the later photos, I make these in several designs and colors. A portion of the proceeds from my Save the Bees line of pottery goes to support a garden in a botanic park in northern Colorado. If this is a gift and you would like me to include a card with a message from you in the package, please leave the wording in your Note to Seller at check out.
