The Colina Large Bowl is a deep, open bowl, wheel-thrown in a warm textured clay and glazed satin white inside. The outside is hand-painted with a coloured slip the maker mixes in her studio, in Emerald, Teal or Peacock. The maker suggests it for noodles, salads, soup and serving.
It belongs to the Colina collection, which the maker says focuses on new colour and rounded form. Colina is Spanish for hill, and the collection began as a study of rounded vases. The page adds that the design also comes as a small bowl, a salad bowl and a vase.
The maker says every piece is handmade, so colour, size and form vary. She says her ceramics are food safe and dishwasher safe, though she recommends hand washing. She also warns that quick temperature changes can crack ceramics.
The Hana Short Mug is from another collection, with black painted pattern instead of slip, and the Magpie Series art print is on paper rather than clay.
Made by River Ceramics, the Margaret River studio of Jolene, a building designer for more than a decade before her first clay class in 2018.

Margaret River, planned in one, two or three days
The best things to do in Margaret River are underground, on the coast and at the makers' doors: the caves along Caves Road, the lighthouses at Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin, the karri forest on Boranup Drive and the Saturday farmers market in town.
