This soy sauce serving set is a collaboration with the porcelain and cobalt tour de force at Maren + Laura Ceramics. It features a beautifully delicate cruet with the most lovingly-formed spout, and two shallow saucers with ample room for dipping delights in a pool of my liquid joy. All three pieces are created by Laura in classical porcelain, by hand and wheel. Each piece in the set is completed with a cobalt underglaze featuring a matching nature-inspired designand a silky smooth white finish by Maren. Handmade for soy sauce, good for so much more There were just ten sets made by the hearts and hands of these two Sisters, Oregon residents for me. All sets are similar in size with each offering a unique motif and small variations in shape. They are very much one of a kind. I'm keeping one for me and gifting three of them to my top supporters, leaving just six offered here for sale. I'm pairing each set with a seasonal soy sauce that uses my Original recipe as the foundation. For 2025, this season's offering is the Barrel Bay Finishing Soy Sauce. This is a fusion of California Bay Leaves and a mix of red, green, white and black Peppercorns from across the world, aged in an Oregon-made BadMotivator charred oak barrel for smoothing and a touch of smokiness. The beauty and utility of these pieces call out to be used, cherished and adored. They go far beyond just vessels for my soy sauce and are well-suited for holding other condiments, dressing up charcuterie boards, or elevating astore-bought sushi dinner. Robust but delicate, they are an eye-pleasing reminder to slow down and celebrate a moment with someone close to you.
