PRE-ORDER TERMS:

  • By default, mail is shipped at tracked + expedited shipping. If you wish for a shipping upgrade, please inquire and additional fee will be billed.

• This item is handmade + hand painted so each piece is unique, I understand that there will be slight variation from the photo used in listing.

DESCRIPTION:

Part of the “HIYA” (Hee-Yah) collection of ceramics that debuted at Auntie’s Supply in Toronto. The pieces in HIYA (meaning shy, shame) act as little diary entries from myself, growing up Filipina in Toronto. Patterns are inspired by textiles and flora from the motherland and feature words and sayings that were said to me growing up which have impacted me the most in an act of healing and reclaiming now that I’m in adulthood.

An icon, something to reach for as something to having in common with fellow Kababayan. A crossroads in the venn diagram with my western upbringing and motherland now that there are some across Toronto, too. Whenever we went back to the Philippines we galibanted to the malls or we’d get takeout because my sister and I were “picky eaters”.

SPECS:

• speckled stoneware clay with illustrated Jolibee

• glazed on the top, food safe.

• Approximately 5.5” diameter.
