He made me three pen rests with a beautiful glaze.
I'll take better pictures of them when they're finally on my office desk - loaded with pens, of course!

Nice one!
Always great when someone manages to create a gift themselves that is also thoughtfully made just for you.
Excellent!

I think it would look better with two ridges, one above, and one below, to properly cradle the pens, but...it's a nice thing!

Very nice!
Any chance you can convince your potter friend to add a second ridge and make more for us

That's a novel idea! He could become an accessory-maker! Inkwells, desk-sets, inkstands, pen-rests...if they're as nice as that, damn it we'd all buy it!
