Blue and Tan Rutile Bottle with Spout

$40.00

This handmade ceramic oil bottle features a striking combination of deep cobalt blue and flowing layers of blue, lavender, and warm golden tones. The rich, glossy blue contrasts beautifully with the softer, variegated glaze above, where colors blend and flow together to create a distinctive, one-of-a-kind finish. The sculptural, gently contoured shape adds to its character, making this functional piece as eye-catching as it is useful.

Wheel-thrown from B-Mix stoneware and fired to cone 10 in reduction, this oil bottle brings rich color and handmade character to your kitchen counter or dining table. A stainless steel pour spout completes the piece, making it a practical addition to your kitchen or a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates handmade pottery.

Details
Standing 6.25" tall (without the spout), this bottle is crafted from durable BMix, a smooth white stoneware clay. The glossy blue and rutile glazes enhance its smooth surface, while the subtle swirl in the form make it very comfortable to grasp and use. The bottle measures nearly 3.5" across it's widest point, and it holds 14 ounces (around 420 ml) when full. I'll include both a plastic and metal spout with the piece, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

Fired in a cone 10 reduction kiln, the glaze takes on a depth and softness unique to this firing process. The piece is food safe, microwave safe, and dishwasher safe, designed for everyday use.

Use
This bottle works beautifully for serving olive oil, vinegar, or syrups, and it can also double as a small vase for fresh greenery or flowers. Its timeless design makes it as useful as it is decorative.

Process
The bottle was thrown on my potters wheel using BMix clay, a white stoneware. The swirl shape was added by pressing into the side of the pot using the rounded end of a rubber rib, as my fingers pressed out from the interior of the pot. The rib and my interior hand moved up the pot as it spun, pressing in the swirl shape with a single pass.

After drying and bisque firing, the piece was glazed in white liner glaze, and then fired to cone 10 in a reduction atmosphere. This firing style brings out subtle richness in the glaze, making each bottle a one-of-a-kind piece.
