Genie Condo Potion Bottles

The "Genie Condo Potion Bottles" are a unique blend of art and functionality, inspired by the enchanting imagery of genies and their mystical dwellings.

Each bottle, standing at a petite 3-5 inches tall, is meticulously crafted to serve as a charming container for a variety of uses. From holding exotic spices to storing scented water, these bottles invite users to tap into their creativity. The spiral top design, reminiscent of a genie returning to her vessel, adds an element of whimsy and wonder to each piece.

However, the true magic of these bottles lies in their ability to hold something far more personal and intangible. You've envisioned these bottles as a safe space for individuals to deposit their deepest thoughts, fears, dreams, and wishes. In this way, they serve as a physical manifestation of one’s inner world, a private sanctuary where thoughts can be stored and revisited. This concept transforms each bottle into more than just a decorative item; it becomes a companion in one’s journey of self-reflection and personal growth.

When someone receives a Genie Condo Potion Bottle, they are not just acquiring a beautifully crafted object; they are gaining a confidant. Encouraging them to consider their anxieties, ideas, or aspirations and place them in the bottle, (mentally or physically) these vessels act as a tangible reminder of their personal journey.

The act of physically placing these thoughts into the bottle can be a cathartic experience, allowing individuals to externalize their internal struggles and joys.

In essence, these Genie Condo Potion Bottles are not just containers; they are guardians of secrets, keepers of dreams, and holders of memories. They stand as a testament to the belief that sometimes, the most precious things we can hold onto are our own thoughts and feelings. Each time a person gazes upon their bottle or holds it in their hands, they are reminded of their own depth, resilience, and the ever-present potential for magic in their lives.

Experience the Inner Echoes Difference

Bring home the Inner Echoes unglazed mug and let it be a daily reminder of life's simple joys and meaningful connections. Embrace a mug that's as individual as your journey, resonating with your inner voice and echoing the values of transparency and purity.

Note: Due to the unglazed nature of this mug, slight variations and imperfections are normal and add to its unique charm. Each piece is individually crafted, ensuring no two mugs are exactly alike.

The inside-out mugs are an absolute representation of life, its journey, and the beauty and ugliness that come along our paths as we navigate existence. The unfortunate nature is that life is not always easy, and we are constantly being transformed by these experiences. We are left scarred, burned, deformed, and hurt on a multitude of different levels. Because of these transformations, we often view these physical, emotional, and spiritual deformities as perceived negative transformations; therefore, they become a tool for our healing.

Firstly, vessels themselves are a representation of the womb of Mother Earth and have been this symbol since ancient times. The vessel, the mug, personifies healing and suffering, protection and vulnerability, change and consistency, and stillness and rage. We can harness this power within our hands through this clay mug. In being made of earth, the inside-out mug also allows us to be archaeologists of our past and the past of our ancestors. Within each of our bodies, like the mug, is an archaeological site that holds the details and wisdom of our life story, composed of generational, spiritual, emotional, physical, and personal experiences.

However, trauma locks these stories in our bodies and deep in our minds, manifesting suffering. With the use of the mug, we are allowed to explore our life stories without judgment and fear, understanding that trauma lives within our body, not just our mind. As you move your hands throughout the mug, take notice of how you feel. The mug is not uniform by any means, but its unique shape reminds you that the transformation from experiences lives within us at all times. That our soma, "living body," holds a piece of our healing, and that we uncover and explore where trauma lives in the body.

The physical body of the mug, like our body, can be used as a valuable guide—an ally on the road to mental health and healing. If we learn to listen and feel, we can excavate and understand the past to live more in the present. The exploration of the mug helps us navigate our mind and body shaped by experience that impacts us. It can be an instrumental tool in releasing mental and physical tension by creating an external roadmap for enhancing psychological and spiritual growth by relating our changes to the textures on the mug. As a therapeutic tool, the mug provides an opportunity to examine problems deep in our mind and body, answer questions we have about ourselves and our past, and provide objective perspectives while also affording time and space for personal reflection.

Because it is both kinesthetic and introspective, the inside-out mug functions as a complete mind-body integrative activity to process memories, release pain, and reframe what we see as something negative with gratitude.

Buddha Bowl

A Buddha Bowl is more than a bowl—it’s an invitation to gather, to nourish, and to enjoy. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully crafted, these large, platter-like bowls strike the perfect balance between elegance and practicality. They are generous in size, making them ideal for your everyday personal meals, your Sunday roasts, or for serving loved ones around the table. They make a beautiful table setting, with each person having a unique Buddha bowl to themselves.

The high-sided rims ensure that nothing spills, whether you’re enjoying bacon and eggs in front of the television or a hearty pasta dish filled with shrimp and sauce at the table. Each piece may be adorned with intricate chattering marks and carvings that lend texture and depth to the design. And the colours—oh, the colours! The Relics Collection brings out the warmth of rich caramels, the subtleties of sandy beaches, and the sweeping drama of a desert sandstorm.

Even the bottoms of these bowls are something to marvel at. When you wash your Buddha Bowl, I want you to take a moment to notice the craftsmanship there, too—the care and attention extend to every angle. These aren’t just bowls; they’re companions to your meals, your conversations, and your quiet moments.

When not in use, your Buddha Bowl easily becomes a centerpiece. Fill it with fresh fruit for a splash of natural beauty or let it stand alone on your coffee table, where its artistry can be appreciated as much as its function. Fill it with water and float several tea lights in it to set the mood for a quiet evening. Every bowl is a reminder that even the simplest acts—eating, serving, cleaning—can carry a sense of joy and meaning when done with something so thoughtfully made.

A Reflection of Balance

The Buddha Bowl is more than a vessel; it’s a reflection of balance and mindfulness. Rooted in the teachings of Buddha, it invites you to embrace the simplicity and intention of every meal. Whether holding your favourite comfort food or serving loved ones, this bowl encourages a connection to the moment, reminding us to honour both the nourishment we give and the care we receive.

The Beauty and Purpose of a Buddha Bowl

There’s something deeply satisfying about a bowl that feels as generous as it is beautiful. When I created the Buddha Bowl, I wanted it to be a piece that could meet you wherever you are—in your kitchen, your living room, your dining table—and bring a sense of grounded comfort to your day.

These bowls are not just about function, although they serve that purpose perfectly. They are about the way we share meals, the way we nourish ourselves and others, and the way we find small moments of beauty in the everyday. Their size is welcoming, offering room for an entire meal or enough to share with family and friends. Their high-sided rims are practical, yes, but they also create a sense of intimacy. They hold everything together—your food, your thoughts, your time.

Each Buddha Bowl in the Relics Collection carries the story of its making. The chattering marks and carvings tell of the rhythm of the wheel and the movement of hands, while the glazes evoke natural elements—warm caramel tones, sandy textures, and the earthy hues of a desert storm. These aren’t just colours; they’re feelings, evoking places where we feel most connected to ourselves and to nature.

And then there’s the bottom of the bowl. You might not think about the bottom of a bowl often, but I do. I want you to notice it when you wash it, to feel the same sense of care and detail there as you do when you’re serving from it. Even that simple act can be a moment of connection to the piece and its purpose.

But what I love most about these bowls is their versatility. They’re perfect for everything from your favourite comfort meal—imagine roast beef and Yorkshire pudding—to a bright summer salad or even a pile of fresh fruit. And when they’re not holding food, they’re holding space. Set one on your coffee table as a quiet statement of beauty, a reminder of the balance between function and art.

A Buddha Bowl isn’t just a piece of pottery. It’s a reflection of how we live, how we share, and how we find meaning in the things we use every day. My hope is that when you use one of these bowls, it brings a sense of care to your meals and a touch of joy to your home.

Living the Lessons of Buddha

The teachings of Buddha remind us of the beauty found in simplicity, the peace in mindfulness, and the harmony of balance. Each Buddha Bowl carries these lessons forward, not just in its name but in its purpose. When you use one, you’re not just eating—you’re practicing the art of being present, creating a space where every meal becomes a mindful celebration of life’s small, meaningful moments.
