This amazing set of 7 green bowls highlighted with brown, are hand thrown by Sheila Cavanagh.

You will be proud to display these on your counter, and the number of uses for these bowls are countless.

The bowls are made from wheel-thrown speckled buff clay. After drying to a leathery consistency, the bowls are cleaned, trimmed and handles are attached to the outer bowl. They are then fired in a kiln over 4 hours to Cone 4 (approximately 2150 degrees F.). After cooling, they are decorated and glazed, and then have a final firing to Cone 5 (approximately 2200 degrees F.) over 7-8 hours.

The bowls are food-safe and can be used in the oven, microwave, refrigerator, and freezer. The bowls should not be "thermally stressed" by putting them straight from the freezer/refrigerator to the microwave or oven. Let them sit out and come to room temperature first. The same goes for going from cooking to cold storage.

Nesting bowls are among the most difficult to make on a wheel. Master potter Sheila shares with us once again not only these beautiful bowls, but her time and talent!

When you win these, send us photos of the ways you are using them and we can share with Sheila and for future auctions!
