Photo of the Day August 12th


For my birthday last month, Chris gave me two beautiful pieces of art from a local potter named Beth Turnbull Morrish. I first saw her work at the Gathering on the Green and was impressed not only by the quality of her "functional art" but by her unique designs and truly one-of-a-kind aesthetic. If you appreciate hand-crafted pottery you absolutely must click the link and visit her website; if you only have a moment to browse, her teapots are magical and not to be missed. This medium sized bowl is just begging to be filled with something delicious to be shared with friends and loved ones over dinner or drinks. I'm taking suggestions, so please feel free to post them as comments and perhaps we'll have the opportunity to share a glass of wine and some delicious little nibble together soon!

  1. On first glance I thought it was a picture of a caramel pudding or a merangue pie. It is too hard to tell how big it is with no reference, but maybe either one of those two things would work.

  2. It's deep - a bowl rather than a plate shape... I'm thinking maybe little puff pastry appetizers, or a fruit salad?

    Oh, did you check out the potter's website by the way? *Amazing* teapots, yes?

  3. This woman is a true artist at the wheel. I have never seen pottery with such style, whimsy,and flair.
