Lavender-Rimmed Scalloped Dishes, Pair — Spiral Throwing Rings, Iron-Brown Wave Edge

This pair of shallow, hand-thrown dishes features a distinctive wavy, scalloped rim — irregular and organic rather than perfectly symmetrical, giving each piece a petal- or shell-like silhouette. The glaze is the standout feature: a soft lavender-purple tone pools thickest at the rim and fades inward into a warm oatmeal-cream center, where fine concentric throwing rings are visible beneath the glaze, along with scattered dark iron speckling. The very edge of the scalloped rim is outlined in a rich iron-brown glaze that follows the wave pattern all the way around, giving a crisp graphic border against the softer interior colors.
