This ceramic dessert dish is functional art inspired by all the things we see when we’re trying to see an eclipse-the edges of special glasses (the pinhole camera is what I remember), the clouds and the sky and that sudden aha! I hope you find it at least as entertaining, and you can take it out to serve yourself a slide of pie or a big croissant any time of year—any year. Made with stoneware and glazed with a tape and brush technique, it crosses the art and science lines in the way we might all wish.
For those who need both light and darkness in their lives, who need a pretty thing to make snack time special, and anyone who appreciates having a special plate.
