This set of a rippled tray and two spalted bowls carries whispers of Cornwall’s ancient story. Carved from the same beech tree, their shared grain speaks of unity and the enduring connection between the land and its makers. The tray’s surface, painted in deep blue-green milk paint, mirrors the restless waves of the north coast—where sea and stone meet in a timeless dance. Its rippled texture evokes the rhythm of tidal pools and the marks left by wind and water over millennia.

The bowls, with their spalted patterns and carved bases, recall the lines etched into Cornwall’s tors and Neolithic structures—symbols of an age when the land brimmed with magic and mystery. This set invites reflection on a time when Cornwall stood as its own kingdom, steeped in myth and legend, its cliffs and moors guarding treasures of the past.
