Fire Stroke Tray

Carrying movement and gesture across a generous surface, this ceramic snack tray reflects a studio practice shaped by years of wood firing and collaborative making in India. The wide, shallow form is wheel-thrown and altered with restraint, allowing the tray to feel open and balanced while remaining easy to handle. Earthy brown tones and expressive hand-drawn marks develop through natural glazing and extended wood firing, where ash movement and kiln atmosphere add depth and variation to the surface. Crafted in stoneware and fired patiently, the tray gains a tactile richness shaped by flame and time rather than controlled finish. Finished with a hand-wrapped cane handle for comfortable carrying, the form is intended for serving snacks, breads, or shared bites, bringing warmth, ease, and a grounded presence to casual gatherings.
