Description

Born from a winter of research and a few fish tin dinners, the Coastland Caviar Dish is back with a new batch of test plates. Every caviar bead, fish and letter painted by hand in Burlington, Vermont, then fired twice. Each piece carries over two hours of work and comes out entirely its own.

These are test plates, and we mean that honestly. No two are alike. The measurements aren't perfect. One sits a little wider, one runs a little deeper. That's what happens when a dish is built by hand instead of pulled from a mold, and it's exactly the point.

The first batches out of a kiln are never the whole story. There are things we're still tweaking, details we're still chasing. But somewhere along the way two perfectionists learned to step aside and let the work speak for itself.

Hand-built, hand-painted, slightly imperfect, entirely intentional. One of a kind, every one.

THE MAKER

Amber Tozzie of Aries Season Ceramics, Burlington, Vermont. Ten years into her craft, Amber works minutes from the shores of Lake Champlain — through all four seasons, in all their fullness. Her studio is where mindfulness meets making — a quiet counterweight to everything loud about the world right now.

This dish came out of a real collaboration. We spent a winter together studying vintage caviar tins, eating from fish tins at dinner, obsessing over color and lettering and the weight of a dot. Amber took that vision and found a process — refining, adjusting, firing, starting again. And then we had to let go. Two perfectionists stepping back long enough to say — these are ready.

The Caviar Dish is her first collaboration with Coastland. It won't be the last.
