The pleasure of food is not just flavor, aroma, texture, and fancy garnish. It’s the presentation: a bowl, charger, handled tray, casserole dish. And it’s the additional pleasure of the object’s provenance: Where you bought it. Who gifted it to you. What you serve in it. Each Scope artist looks to create containers that hold memories as well as, say, couscous or mashed potatoes. You’ll find serving pieces, dinnerware, and novel shapes perfect for oatmeal or mixed nuts, lasagna or apple cobbler, artichoke dip or ramen soup. Your kitchen artistry is best served…in the artistry of a one-of-a-kind creation. Featuring the Kiln Club.
