Named after the Scottish location for the Fishley Holland Pottery in the 1970s and ‘80s, the Oxnam bowl is part of a new range of beautiful, functional tableware. 

Designed for those who delight in the tactile nature of handmade pottery, this porcelain bowl goes through five different processes once it’s been thrown and turned. Before being fired, it’s dipped in oatmeal glaze. Once fired it’s then brushed with white glaze. When the glaze is dry, the linear pattern is incised on the interior and exterior before it’s fired one more time.

An elegant addition to a calming and peaceful breakfast table, its subtle, natural glazing mean the throwing rings are still visible in the base. The perfect size for breakfast porridge or a comforting bowl of lunchtime soup, it feels beautiful in the hand, too.

Turned with a small foot, making it light and functional - the base is unglazed and features our unique Fishley Holland maker’s stamp.

Mix with some of our other ceramic plates and bowls or pair it with the rest of our Oxnam range. A matching side plate and dinner plate are also available to pre-order.

Handmade in East Sussex.

Paper Thin Moon is a family business run by father and daughter team Peter and Claire Holland. All our ceramics are hand thrown by Peter, who is the seventh generation of the Fishley Holland family of craft potters.

The perfect gift for those who love nothing more than spending some quiet time faffing with flowers, our new Flower Lover’s Ikebana Gift Set includes everything needed for making artful ikebana-inspired displays with fresh or dried flowers.

Use our Harvest ceramic flower frog, alone or placed inside our Oxnam porcelain bowl, or opt for a small Niwaki kenzan flower pin inside the bowl for more minimal arrangements. Simply fill the ceramic flower frog with water when using fresh flowers.

You’ll also receive a packet of Nigella papillosa “Delft Blue” seeds from the lovely Higgledy Garden. These delicate little beauties (pictured) are named after Delftware pottery and have mottled silvery grey and blue petals, a deep aubergine “bee” and gorgeous feathery foliage. They’re easy to grow, too and can been sown straight into beds and borders.

As a keen gardener and flower lover, I designed this set to delight those who love to grow, cut and get creative with flowers. A really useful and versatile set, it can be used all year round, with dried flowers, grasses and slender branches coming into play in the cooler months.

What we love most about this diminutive porcelain bowl is its versatility.

Available in oatmeal or coral glazed porcelain.

Many of these tiny porcelain vases have been inspired by the shapes seen in classical Japanese pottery but they also follow a long tradition of miniature making in the family pottery.

Miniatures were first produced in the Braunton Pottery by William Fishley Holland in the mid-1900s.

These one-of-a-kind modern collections look great on their own but are equally striking as part of a curated display on your shelf or sideboard. Each collection of five vases is unique and will not be repeated.

Please note: if there is a particular shape or colour combination you’d like, please contact us directly as we are able to accommodate specific requests.
