Behold … the Cat Proof Sugar Bowl. Recently I was contacted to make a sugar bowl out of a certain glaze and while it was a disaster, that might have been a good thing because I found out that the customer had a feline friend who might want to bat around that sugar bowl.

There’s nothing like a bit of a challenge to get one’s creative juices going. I threw three bowls. The lid, when not in use, could possibly be used to hold used teabags … or the drippy spoon could rest inside, too.

By now some may be wondering … how? HOW is it cat proof? Answer: it is in the way the lid fits over the bottom bowl … or actually, the TWO bottom bowls.

The inner bowl can be lifted out and the bowl underneath can be used to hold used tea bags or a drippy spoon. The lid could, if one so desired, be used to elevate the sugar bowl, like a pedestal.

Here’s another way it can be used. The sugar bowl could sit open and exposed while the top and bottom are one single unit.

As I put all this in writing, I’m realizing that this bowl is beginning to remind me of that trend that was popular in the early 80’s . It was a shirt/skirt that had a wrap and it could be worn 1000 different ways but it only came in four colors: blue, red, white, and brown …. it maybe have come in green but I don’t think so.

This is by far one of the most interesting custom orders I’ve at
attempted. Now … if it can only survive the bisque and glaze firing!
