The throwing rings are left visible under the glaze — the potter didn't smooth them out, and the piece is better for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTwo details make it more than a bowl. A tapered cone rises from the center, thrown as one with the body, and the flat shelf of the rim is pierced with pairs of small round holes evenly spaced around the circumference. The cone stacks rings; the holes take earring posts and wires. It's a jeweler's dish in studio pottery form — everything you take off at the end of the day lands in one place and stays visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe foot is broad, unglazed, and cleanly turned, with a single pierced opening at the center.

Work from studios like it rarely travels far. It's sold locally, given locally, and stays in the drawers and on the dressers of the region it was made in — which is precisely why it is worth collecting close to home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe mark here is a personal one rather than a production stamp: a first name, a studio name, and a modeled robin, all applied by hand before the first firing. No two of these pieces are identical, and this one carries brushwork that will not be repeated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eField\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eObject\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheel-thrown stoneware ring and earring dish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarson City, Nevada — Carson City Pottery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShallow bowl with hand-ruffled rim, central ring cone, paired piercings around the rim shelf, broad turned foot with central opening\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStoneware, celadon-grey glaze with cobalt brushwork, unglazed foot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMarks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncised \"Robin · Carson City Pottery\" to the foot, with an applied and glazed robin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ec. 1995–2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExcellent.

This is the object that ends that. The cone holds a stack of bands, the pierced rim keeps pairs of earrings together and untangled, and the whole thing is handsome enough to leave in plain view on a nightstand or a bathroom counter rather than in a drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe glaze is the reason to want it. That grey-green ground with cobalt drawn across it is the palette of high-desert weather, and it sits beautifully against walnut, brass, unglazed terracotta, and white marble alike. It's also the right scale for a dresser vignette: low, wide, quiet, and finished on every side including the one nobody sees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePractical note: stoneware is durable but not indestructible. Hand-wash if it needs it, and keep it off a stone counter edge where a knock would find the ruffle first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Viridian Eclection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47998687608937,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/0093\/9369\/files\/6E62D93B-69B3-40D7-B707-9E7CA64DC0D6_4_5005_c.jpg?v=1788516113","url":"https:\/\/viridianeclection.com\/products\/robin-carson-city-pottery-ruffled-stoneware-ring-dish-blue-over-celadon-brushwork-nevada-c-1990s","provider":"Viridian Eclection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
