Project description
I will hand-throw a complete rotating spice carousel set on the potter's wheel: a circle of matching small ceramic jars arranged around a turning wooden or bamboo lazy-susan base, so the whole ring spins in place on your counter instead of sitting as separate jars or hanging on a wall. This is a distinct format from a standard countertop spice jar set and from a wall-mounted hanging rack — the defining feature here is the rotating base itself, built or sourced to the exact diameter needed once the number and size of pots is confirmed.
Each small pot is thrown individually and then matched by eye and by measurement so the whole ring reads as one uniform set: same rim height, same footprint, same lid profile, so they sit flush and evenly spaced around the turntable without wobbling or leaning. Typical sets run from six to twelve pots depending on the base diameter you want, and I will help you plan pot count against base size so the carousel turns smoothly without pots touching their neighbors.
Clay body is stoneware or a food-safe porcelain, fired to maturity for durability and everyday kitchen use. Glaze is entirely open: a single unified glossy or matte color across the whole ring, a graduated wash from light to dark around the circle, speckled or reactive glazes, or hand-painted motifs repeated on each lid. I can also letter or stamp each lid (pepper, cumin, cinnamon, and so on) or leave them blank with small chalkboard-style tags if you prefer to relabel as your spice rotation changes.
Lids seat snugly to keep spices fresh, and pot interiors are glazed smooth for easy cleaning. The wooden base is sealed food-safe hardwood with a smooth-turning center bearing, offered in a natural, stained, or dark finish to match your kitchen. Once we finalize pot count, base size, glaze, and any lettering, I will send a sketch and glaze sample photos before throwing begins.
Production takes roughly two to three weeks start to finish, covering throwing, trimming, bisque firing, glazing, and a final glaze firing for every pot, with base fabrication running in parallel. Each pot and the base are wrapped individually with foam separators and shipped in a reinforced box built for the ring shape, with tracking and insurance on request.
