## Title Tahoe Trinket Dish

## Subtitle Wheel-thrown by Kara at Lake Tahoe. Palm-sized. For the things you set down at the door.

## Description Most ceramic dishes at this price point are slip-cast in molds, glaze-sprayed in a line, and shipped from a factory in batches of a thousand. They look about right and feel about wrong.

Kara works alone in a small studio at Lake Tahoe. She wheel-throws each dish from a wedge of clay, glazes them by hand in muted tones, and fires them in batches when the kiln is full. Every dish carries the slight asymmetry of having been pulled by a thumb instead of pressed by a machine.

The Tahoe Trinket Dish is sized for what your hand sets down without thinking — a key, a ring, a pair of earrings, the small change that ends up in pockets at the end of the day. Twenty-four dollars for a wheel-thrown dish made by one person.

Every purchase funds one sauna session for one cancer patient. The dish holds the small things. The session holds the whole body. Same logic, different scales.
