We are the hollows, the shallow, the wide,
With nowhere for dust or for secrets to hide.
From the steam of the kettle to the light of the bed,
We’re the place where the wandering objects are led.
Not just for the kitchen, nor just for the spoon,
We’re the anchors that hold you from morning to noon.
A palm made of stoneware, a gift from the fire,
To hold every fragment that you might require.
A circle drawn in morning light,
To keep your steady focus bright.
With toasted sand and cream-washed clay,
I’ll help you start a peaceful day.
A gentle spin, a quiet heart,
I am the home of every start.
The Calm Start plate is the visual embodiment of a slow morning. Featuring the signature "First Motion" spiral, this piece is finished in a soothing buttermilk cream with a raw, toasted sand-coloured trail that follows the potter’s hand. The texture is intentionally soft and organic, reminiscent of a drawing made in the sand at low tide.
It is designed to be the first thing you reach for—a serene landing for your morning coffee spoon or a steady base for a meditation candle. Its warm, neutral palette allows it to blend seamlessly into any space, bringing a sense of grounded simplicity to your daily rituals. It is more than a rest; it is an invitation to begin your day with a moment of quiet, centred poise.
