The Ethnic Sauce Bowl - Terracotta - S
by Antoine Maurice
The Ethnic Sauce Bowl celebrates the timeless charm of terracotta craftsmanship. This terracotta sauce bowl rests softly on the table, its earthy tone and curved form radiating quiet warmth and simple elegance.
Designed for everyday rituals, it holds dips, sauces, olive oil, or herbs with ease. The small handle creates a natural flow between serving and sharing, while its textured surface adds a tactile presence to wooden boards, linen napkins, or stoneware plates. Every use feels intentional and grounded.
Handcrafted by Indonesian artisans, each piece carries subtle variations in shade and finish. These natural marks of firing and clay reveal the bowl’s authenticity, reflecting patience, balance, and the beauty of slow, human craft.

The Idea
The Ethnic Sauce Bowl - Terracotta - S was drawn for The Mesa Collection — which meant working inside the collection's rules before anything else: one material family, honest thickness, and no detail that exists only to be looked at.
The prototype went through the workshop three times. What survived is the version where nothing further could be taken away without the piece stopping working.
The Designer
Antoine Maurice starts every project by measuring: elbow height at a table, the depth a shoulder needs in a lounge chair, the reach across a console.
The result is furniture that is comfortable before it is anything else.
