Olney is a distinctive, hand block-printed thistle pattern – a small-scale motif that references 19th century British pottery and printed Indian calico fabrics, and that manages to feel pretty and traditional without being twee. In this piece – a low-sided, decorative, stoneware bowl – it’s printed in our deep orange Burnt Sienna colourway onto a milky white ground for a look that can be as zingy and summery as it can be cosy and autumnal.

Design & engineering

In the making

Block printing is a centuries-old technique of pattern making. It’s normally associated with cloth, particularly from India, and in wallpaper-making, but it has also traditionally been used on hard surfaces like pottery. These days, transfer printing is more commonly used for ceramics, being quicker and less variable, but we appreciate the character and non-uniformity of stamping with carved wooden blocks – expect changes in both pattern form and colour across each piece.

One bowl, lots of uses

We love a large, low-sided bowl like this one for everything from fruit on a kitchen island to found objects on a coffee table to serving big, generous salads (although largely a decorative piece, it is food safe, you’ll just need to handwash it because of its size).

A styling tip or two

When it comes to mixing and matching other crockery styles with this piece – be it on the table or a dresser’s shelves – we think that Lewes makes a particularly pleasing pairing because of the contrast of Burnt Sienna and blue, and for the same reason, the Olney Flax Blue pieces are a stunning match too.
