The golden touch.
It all started with the pinch bowl. One sprinkle of salt from its whimsical design and honest-to-goodness we wished everything could look just like it. Enter: This dinnerware set, modeled after our original gold-dipped dream. Organic, shell-like creations with a touch of gold on one delicate edge, it’s dinnerware that could have been molded from an undiscovered species of coral. Add the matching serving bowls for a delightfully fanciful dinner.

Meet the Maker
FISHEYECeramics
Catskill, NY
Kim Gilmour grew up in rural New Hampshire, and the inspiration for her work comes from the beauty and imperfection of the natural world. After moving to Brooklyn and starting to work with pottery, she decided to open her own shop. Now based in Hudson Valley, New York, everything she creates is organic and abstract, but also completely functional. Each piece is either hand-built, thrown on an electric wheel, or a combination of both.

Yes they’re beautiful
For the asking price, I was sort of underwhelmed. They’re more for looks obv, and they do look good set up on the table. But this is definitely not any kind of an everyday use thing. Too expensive.
