Hairpin-leg planter cast in an earthy red clay — inspired by California’s High Desert
Named after a desert ghost town, the Bodie Mug was inspired by California’s vast high desert landscapes. The entire High Desert Collection embodies the essence of these still-wild places, with a dusty red clay that echoes the earth’s rust-colored terrain. The three hairpin legs add a touch of mid-century modern to the piece, while the textured clay keeps it down to earth. This makes for the perfect accent piece in any space, just add your favorite succulent, cactus, or leafy fern.

Notes from the Artist
On Inspiration: "Nature has a way of keeping me humble and teaching me exactly what is needed in that moment. I draw my inspiration for my craft from the experiences and interactions I have while out exploring. I take pride in creating functional art that people bring into their homes and interact with daily."
On Intention: "Uzumati Ceramics brings a bit of nature into the home and hands in hopes of bridging the gap between humans and earth. These handmade vessels are there to cultivate a like-minded community, generate creative expressions, and inspire a life lived boldly."
