There is something understated and humble about a ginkgo leaf that makes it a fitting motif for the pawn figure in our chess-themed collection. This sweet piece is larger than some of our usual miniatures, but smaller than the typical cabinet vase. Two delicate ginkgo leaves flutter at the neck of this small bottle form. We offer the Ginkgo Pawn Bottle in two traditional Ephraim glaze variations—warm Algae and cool Teal—making this piece an easy addition to your existing collection. Handmade to order.

Sometimes the world’s smallest creatures deserve the most careful notice. Notice the bee’s delicate wings; notice the bee’s patterned body; notice the bee’s important pollinating role in the ecosystem. Here a plump honey bee perches near the rim of a small, rippled form. A honey-like glossy amber glaze spills over a soft yellow matte glaze, inviting you to admire the little bee as it tends its honey. Handmade to order.

The tritone is a musical interval composed of three adjacent whole tones. Ephraim artists play with a variation on this theme by creating three precisely, hand-rendered flower buds that encircle a small, soft form.
