Glazed White Ceramic Colander

Perforated by hand and thrown on the wheel in Los Angeles from granite clay, the Vermont Stoneware Berry Colander has a glazed white interior and an unglazed exterior that exposes the natural speckle of the clay. Each piece comes out of the kiln with its own slight variation in shape and finish, making each colander unlike any other.

Food-Safe, Fired to Last

The glaze is hand-formulated in-house without lead or cadmium, with maximized silica content for a durable, stable surface that resists staining and prevents leaching. All clay bodies are certified non-toxic and easy to clean. Fired at over 2000°F, this ceramic berry colander is built to withstand years of kitchen use, the kind that gets handed down.

Use It, Display It

Rinse berries, cherries, or vegetables directly in the colander and set it on the counter between uses. Two small tab handles make it easy to carry from sink to counter, where it looks as natural filled with fresh produce as it does empty. It sits naturally alongside the Vermont Mixing Pour Bowl and the Vermont Mortar and Pestle.

ABOUT SHELDON CERAMICS

Founded by ceramicist Peter Sheldon, Sheldon Ceramics is a hand-throwing studio based in downtown Los Angeles, just off the LA River. The studio draws inspiration from the industrial landscape around it — weathered surfaces, slow transformation, the raw materials shaped by geological forces over millions of years — and channels that into minimal, functional stoneware.

Each piece is thrown by hand on a wheel, and every glaze is formulated in-house, measured to the gram and fired repeatedly until the color and finish are exactly right. The result is a palette that draws in light rather than reflects it, designed to age with the kind of quiet grace that comes from being made to last.

Sheldon's work traces the universal language of pottery — the same forms appearing across Japanese, Southeast Asian, European, and Mexican ceramic traditions — and reinterprets them with reverence and ongoing study. His stoneware is non-porous and built for daily use, the kind of pieces that become more personal the longer they are lived with.
