The Sunshine Scoop is a small boat-shaped ceramic dessert bowl fifteen centimetres long, twelve across, seven deep finished with a half-shaded glaze: white outside, sunlit Multi Color inside. The contrast is the whole effect the bowl reads quiet from the outside and bright from above when you're eating from it. The boat shape is the long oval of a banana-boat dish: flat ends, gently curved sides, designed to hold a single dessert portion in a way a round bowl can't. It works for kheer, ice cream, fruit salad, sliced mango, chocolate mousse, halwa. The half-shade glaze is hand-applied. Each bowl is dipped in white glaze first, then the inside is dipped or hand-coated in Multi Color before firing. Because the application is by hand, no two pieces have the colour transition in exactly the same place. A note on how it's made. Each bowl is shaped, glazed, and finished by hand. The half-shade glaze is applied in two passes. Small variations in the colour transition and rim curve are part of how a handmade ceramic looks.
