The Superbowl is coming up in a couple of weeks.  This is always a rather big deal at our house, as my husband is a huge sports fan (Football Sundays are sacred, and an annual pilgrimage to his hockey “hometown” is a must).  This year though, the big game is even bigger than ever before.  That’s because this year, my dear husband’s team is actually PLAYING in the Superbowl.  Needless to say, there will be some sort of festivities at our house on game day, jerseys will be worn by everyone big or small (if they made cat-sized jerseys I am sure we’d have one of those too),  and food and beverages will be consumed.  This is where I get to have my fun.  I do like the game, and will certainly be cheering loudly along with everyone else, but I also really like to plan the menu.  And how great would it be to have a delicious spinach dip surrounded by pita crisps in one of these fun dip bowls from Maxwell Pottery?

A perfect way to add some Canadiana to your party.

Functional, and cute too!

This one is big enough to bake a lasagna. Way more fun than the boring clear glass one I normally use!

I think the nautical feel of these pieces is perfectly casual and lighthearted.  They are lovely for entertaining, but would be equally as suitable on the table for any family meal, or even at the cottage!    Daniel starts each item from a ball of clay, then shapes them into useful and attractive stoneware in his studio about 40 kilometers from North Bay.  He then colours them using his own glazes.   Everything is dishwasher, oven, and microwave safe, so they are great for every day use.

Head to the website to see more about Daniel, the studio location, and some of his other works.

Go Team!
