Parallel Motion Bowl

Bold, minimal, and rooted in centuries-old ceramic tradition, the Parallel Motion Bowl by Talavera de la Reyna turns geometry into rhythm. Handcrafted in Puebla, Mexico, this low-profile ceramic bowl is part of the studio’s acclaimed From Bagdad to Puebla collection, a visual exploration that connects Middle Eastern design influence with Mexican ceramic heritage. The exterior features a striking dual pattern of parallel vertical and horizontal lines that wrap seamlessly around the form, creating a bold optical flow. The simplicity of black and white is elevated by the precision of hand-painted detail and the subtle variation of human touch—no two bowls are exactly alike. Inside, the natural glaze reveals the rawness of the clay, offering contrast between control and spontaneity.
