This listing is for one 'Tidal Pool' Ritual Tea Bowl, from The heART of Ritual.
These Tidal Pool ritual tea bowls are multi tasking, functional, hand crafted, art pieces for your tea drinking/moon water making/lunar divining and scrying pleasures!
These hand sculpted 'Tidal Pool' ritual tea bowls are made from wild clay gathered along the north and south shores of Bantry Bay, and glazed with Kelp gathered on the beach (in a place called Beach). No two are the same, and each has a very different design layout of handsculpted barnacles and limpets inside!
Over the past while I've shared images on how I gathered, processed, hand sculpted, and glazed these vessels, along with photos of the landscape and seascape that inspired them. If you would like to read more on this, feel free to scroll through my social media profiles.
Their texture makes them a joy to hold ~ without realizing it, you will be stroking them and gazing deeply inside! I love everything about these...their organic shape, their size, weight, the contrasts, textures, colours, how they sit perfectly into your hands. The outer (unglazed) texture is inspired by rocks found along the shore ~ old red sandstone, limestone, basalt and slate.
These are glazed with food safe materials and strictly speaking should be possible to put in the dishwasher, but I personally would not. I feel gently and lovingly hand washing our ritual tools and caring for them respectfully is a vital part of spiritual practice.
