Vide-poches en céramique La Mére

I keep mine on the entryway table and it’s caught my keys, rings, and loose change every day for a month now—the hand-molded stoneware feels substantial, and the organic glaze variation makes it look like a tiny sculpture instead of just a dish.

The hand-molded stoneware gives it this subtle uneven texture that catches the light beautifully, and it’s been perfect for tossing my rings into when I type. My keys land in it with a satisfying clunk every evening, and it somehow makes the whole desk feel calmer.

I’ve had it on my desk for two weeks now and the keys and rings finally have a home that doesn’t look like a junk pile. The curve of the bowl is just deep enough to hold everything without disappearing, and the matte finish catches the light really nicely.
