bowlsRose

BowlsRose is a ceramic arts project and brand that centers on handmade bowls decorated with rose motifs. Operating as a small studio and online platform, BowlsRose combines functional pottery with botanical-inspired design and community-driven content. Although the project is best known for its line of sculptural and utilitarian bowls, it also shares the processes behind the work through tutorials, studio updates, and exhibitions.

BowlsRose traces its origins to the early 2010s when a ceramicist began producing a limited run of bowls featuring hand-painted rose designs and began documenting the making process online. The practice has since grown into a boutique brand with periodically released collections, collaborations with other artists, and a presence at craft fairs and galleries. Production relies on traditional hand-building or wheel-throwing in small batches, typically using stoneware or porcelain clay and food-safe glazes.

Design and technique emphasize botanical motifs, with roses rendered through underglaze painting, slip trailing, or sgraffito. The palette favors warm reds, pinks, creams, and earth tones, often with tonal glaze effects and a natural, tactile surface.

Community and reception: BowlsRose maintains an active online presence where makers and collectors share care tips, display collections, and discuss design ideas. The brand has received attention in contemporary ceramic circles for craft quality, distinctive motif work, and sustainable, small-batch production.
