Features Products

Colorado Indian Paintbrush - Oil Cruet
$90.00

DESCRIPTION:

Part vessel, part stoneware art. This handmade ceramic oil cruet is wheel-thrown from durable stoneware and hand-carved with Indian Paintbrush in bloom beneath Rocky Mountain peaks, then glazed in layers of cloudy blue, sunset pink, toasted sage that shift with the light.

Made to live on the counter rather than hide in a cabinet — a quiet piece of the Colorado high country within arm's reach while you cook, bringing the calm of the natural world into your kitchen.

Every cruet is thrown and carved individually, so no two are ever exactly alike.

DETAILS

  • Wheel-thrown stoneware, hand-carved and hand-glazed in Colorado

  • Ideal for olive oil, finishing oils, vinegar, or dish soap

  • Food, drink, and microwave safe — non-toxic, lead-free glaze

  • Holds approximately 16 oz

  • Measures approximately 8” tall x 3" wide

  • Controlled drip-free pour spout

CARE
Handwashing recommended however this piece is dishwasher safe. Dishwasher detergents are abrasive over time and can dull the glaze — a few extra seconds at the sink keeps this piece beautiful for a lifetime.

A PERFECT GIFT
For home cooks, mountain lovers, and anyone who believes everyday objects should be beautiful. A thoughtful housewarming, wedding, or hostess gift — and a natural companion to one of my matching hand-carved mugs.

Please note that these are hand crafted and thus there may be slight variations in size, shape, and carving.

I was the youngest by 30 years…

In 2017 my husband talked me into taking a ceramics class at the local Active Adult Center. Silver Sneakers met across the hall. I was the youngest person there by about three decades, and I learned from those folks about clay, and about not rushing something that isn't ready. I've spent the years since refining the craft.

Ashley Santoo Studio opened in 2024. I still make everything myself — thrown on the wheel, carved by hand, glazed one drop at a time.

What People Are Saying

“I ordered two mugs and they are gorgeous! They look even better in person than pictured and were definitely shipped with care. I also appreciate the consistent sizing since I’m going for a mismatched set. These are a wedding gift for dear friends and I just know they will adore them! Thank you again, Ashley!”
