Each pot requires the same care and attention, whether you're making one or a hundred...and I try to be conscious that this pot's going to be part of someone's life.

"There's a fine line between a rut and a groove," potter Brian Kunkelman likes to say. This idea reflects the balance required to hand-throw each design with the mix of consistency and variation that makes every piece one-of-a-kind. Brian goes with the flow—from the water outside his studio window to the music playing near his potter's wheel, to the meditative rhythm of working with clay. Using little more than his hands and his trusty powered foot wheel, he shapes stoneware into clever bowls that blend organic elegance with everyday utility.

Step mom loves it

Bought this as a mother's day gift and my step mom says she uses it multiple times a week!


Great unique gift for gardener

Great gift that I got for my mother in law. She absolutely loved how unique and handy it was.


Absolutely perfect gift

I love this product so much and I am so pleasantly surprised by the craftsmanship as well as the size! It's perfect for a day in the garden, and I would recommend this over and over.


Quality Piece

I purchased this for myself about a year ago. Since then, I have purchased four more as gifts. I like the versatility of the bowl. You can use it for berries, grapes, tomatoes, and veggies. We even use it to thaw shrimp. High quality pottery that I have sitting out on the counter. Who will be my next recipient?


I have purchased as gift for three of my loved ones!

Really solid, pretty, and functional. Unique gift for the Mom who has everything.


My go-to gift

Every one I have purchased came in a timely manner, well packaged and just lovely. They are beautiful art and function combined and I have not seen anything like it anywhere else. The artist is a true craftsman.


I have purchased this bowl for several people.

I love it. Just dump the berries in the bowl, rinse and serve.


Bought multiple times

I wash my berries in the Berry Buddy and then put it in the refrigerator, which prompts my family to eat more berries! It is the perfect size and a cute design for the bonus win. I bought one several years ago but couldn't find anything like it (I forgot where I had bought it), so when I saw this again I bought two more.


Quality

The bowl is made from high quality materials in my opinion. It's a great addition to our kitchen. Great for washing and then putting berries out for the family to eat throughout the day.


I would definitely buy this again!

This is such a multi-purpose piece and perfect for a single serving size when making pasta. It's easy to wash,temp resistant,and easy on storage space. It made a great gift!

Are there holes underneath the berries or just on the lower edges?

Verified reply from Marisa

We're not sure exactly what you mean, but there are holes for the water to drain. There are several thumbnail photos just below the main one. Click on them, and they'll enlarge. Then you can see where the holes are.
