Lilac and Milky White Oil Bottle
This handmade ceramic oil bottle is wheel thrown and finished in a glossy lilac glaze with soft milk-white accents at the neck. The gently ribbed shoulder catches the light and highlights subtle tonal shifts in the glaze, creating a piece that feels both refined and inviting. Designed for everyday use, this pottery oil cruet is perfect for olive oil, infused oils, vinegars, or simple syrups, bringing a functional, handcrafted touch to your kitchen or table.
Details
This bottle stands approximately 5.5 inches tall and measures about 4 inches wide at the shoulder. It holds approximately 13 ounces. The included metal pour spout adds about 1.5 inches to the overall height, and a clear plastic spout is also included and recommended for use with vinegar.
Use
The removable spout makes this bottle as versatile as it is beautiful. Use it as a pour bottle for cooking and serving, or remove the spout to repurpose it as a small vase for fresh flowers or herbs. Its compact size and balanced form make it easy to handle, while the soft lilac tones pair effortlessly with a range of styles - from modern kitchens to cozy, collected spaces.
This piece was thrown on the potter’s wheel using cone 5 B-Mix clay. Texture at the shoulder was created with a thick slip application and expressive brushwork, adding depth beneath the glaze. The interior and lip are finished in a soft milky white glaze, while the exterior features a glossy lilac glaze. Fired to cone 6 in an electric kiln, the result is a durable, food-safe finish suitable for everyday use.
