This large ceramic bowl features stylized magpies moving through a dense arrangement of leaves, feathers, and curved woodland forms. Coral red and sky blue accents stand out against the black carved band, while the warm ivory body keeps the overall shape calm and open. Compared with the earlier Magpie Grove bowl, this composition feels more sweeping and directional, with the birds appearing to travel through the pattern rather than rest within it.
Every EBMing piece begins with an original design, with the carving, coloring, and finishing all completed by hand. The studio does not copy nature exactly, but reshapes familiar plants and living forms into patterns with their own rhythm and character. Each piece is fired at 1240Β°C, preserving the depth of the carved lines, the richness of the hand-applied color, and the subtle variations that make every piece slightly different.
