Checking in on our current silent auctions, we’ve got about 4 hours left on these beautiful soup bowls, inspired by Breath of the Wild.
Nothing beats a nice hot bowl of soup after a hard fought battle against all the monsters in Hyrule. This set of four handmade ceramic bowls uses B-mix clay and was fired to 1200°C in a cone 6 glaze firing. A band of Tunic Turquoise wraps around the outside of the bowl with the Hyrulian word for “SOUP” sgraffitoed into the clay. Further scientific testing revealed the bowls are operational with non-soup materials including stew, cereal, porridge and ice cream. A starry glaze coats the inside of the vessel, revealing the dreaded blood moon! Oh wait. That’s a tomato. These bowls are completely food, microwave, and dishwasher safe, so you can fully enjoy the broth of the wild.
This silent auction will be running until 10am PST; to make a bid, log in to your donor account and visit the Silent Auctions section of the website. From there, you can also check out the other auctions we’ll be running throughout the run.
