I’ve been making bedside water bottles for years but I don’t make them very often. They’re inspired by Mexican botellones—small clay water jugs with an accompanying cup which serves as a cover. Sometimes the cup has a handle. I’ve also discovered a Congolese […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A spherical, decorative ceramic bottle with a small cup on top that acts as a cover when not in use. The piece features a textured off-white surface, aqua accents, and intricate geometric patterns. The background is a plain brown color.

The same object but in this photo, the cup sits next to the bottle reveling the bottle’s tall slender neck. The cup and the bottle are decorated to match each other—with aqua triangle accents and decorative rings around the neck of the vase and the foot of the cup.
