New Toy from Architectural Ceramic Design








Isn't this wonderful?

This is my new Garlic Grater Bowl, made by Alan & Donna Podesto of Architectural Ceramic Design, potters who live and work in Sonona County and specialize in wine country and gift shop wares. I had the pleasure of meeting Donna at the Thursday San Rafael Farmers' Market, where she was selling their wonderful ceramic kitchenware. They make many lovely items including the garlic graters, apple bakers, compost crocks as well as lovely vases, trays, and tableware. Each piece of wheel thrown and decorated by hand and is oven, microwave and dishwasher safe.

The garlic grater can also be used with ginger and soy sauce for asian dipping.

Great gifts for foodies!

That's really cool! OMG, another purchase I'm contemplating.
So the vendors were the ones with all the blue ceramics, I'm guessing...
I was there on Thursday, too, with Jen and Tea. We should have been looking out for you.

I love this grater plate and I love the color, but had the hardest time choosing. I think they have 16 different colors (and they are listed on the website).

I rarely go to the Thursday market but just happened to be in the area. let me know if you're going next time and I'll meet you guys!

This is such a lovely creation! What all people can come up with!
Btw, Catherine, I landed here through AK's blog. Am a vegetarian too. (Well, did I mention that I am an Indian?) I am gonna have to go through your archives now. It looks like a treasure chest to me.
