Handmade in the Blue Ridge Mountains
64 years old, Weaverville NC — her final collection. Handcrafted on the wheel, like always.
"Ray told me once: the bees need water, not blossoms. I made blossoms anyway — because both are true."
– Dorothy "Dot" Callaway, Weaverville, NC
🌿 Expert perspective
"Bees lose enormous amounts of moisture during summer heat — especially in suburban gardens without natural water sources. A shallow, stable water source at bed level is the simplest and most effective thing a gardener can do. The blossom shape of these bowls is no accident: bees navigate visually toward flower-like structures before they land. That lowers the threshold for approaching the bowl — and the clean water, free of pesticides or motor oil like you'd find in a street puddle, makes all the difference."
🎓 Based on guidance from the Xerces Society and Cornell Lab of Ornithology pollinator programs
Colors in the set
You'll receive bowls in random colors from Dot's final winter batch — fired, glazed, and carefully packed:
Pink Orange Purple Yellow / White
💡
Please note: Every bowl is a handmade original. Small differences in glaze, color, and shape are natural and intentional — that's not a defect, that's handmade ceramic. No two are alike.
