“After Storm” captures the quiet intensity that lingers once chaos has passed—the moment where water runs away sand settles, light returns, and the air feels charged with renewal.

This latest Giant Water Bowl is hand-formed in stoneware and finished in a layered interplay of matte white and deep, storm-swept blue gloss. The glaze moves with a life of its own—pooling, breaking, and receding across the surface like retreating tides—creating a landscape that is both turbulent and serene.

Subtle variations in tone and texture evoke shifting skies and water in motion, while the scale of the piece gives it a grounding, almost architectural presence. No two are alike; each bowl is a singular expression of movement, balance, and release.

Designed as both vessel and sculptural centrepiece, “After Storm” anchors a space with quiet power. Light dances across its surface throughout the day, revealing new depths and reflections with every glance.

Highly collectable and produced in limited numbers, this piece reflects Katie Manekshaw’s ongoing exploration of elemental forces—where form, material, and energy converge into an object of lasting presence.
