My maker's mark
I mark every piece with a signature that is inspired by the ogham letter 'E'. Ogham is an ancient Irish alphabet. Many ogham letters were named after trees. The 'E' was named 'eadhadh' after the aspen tree.

The beauty of a wooden bowl is that it doesn't get too hot to hold and it keeps your soup warm! Why would you use anything else?
