Made to Order: Compost Caddy, Denim

—I’m currently out of this product, but am making more. You can reserve yours already. It will take about 6 weeks.—

Recycle your kitchen scraps and coffee grinds with style in this whimsical countertop compost container. I threw the cylinder and lid on the wheel and then added with care and detail the lizard handles and snake for the lid. The bin holds 16 cups (3 liters) and comes in a blue gloss glaze. It can be easily cleaned by hand or dishwasher. This product includes a charcoal filter for odor & pest management and a compost bag to get you started right away.

As with all handmade pottery, every piece is “one-of-a-kind”. There are always minor variations in shape, size and color. That’s what makes them special.
Note: Updated color variation after the first photo.

Volume: 16 cups or 4 liquid quart (3 Liter)
Height: 9 3/4” (without lid: 8”)
Diameter: 8” (without handles 6”)


The story to this product:
I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico and every day lizards scamper across my paths. I find it fascinating to think of them as dinosaurs in miniature form. Still more amazing is its ability to loose and regrow the tail in order to survive. This makes lizard a symbol of regeneration, renewal, and transformation. Just like the lizard lets go of its tail in battle, we can let go and surrender our wounds and what has happen to us in order to heal and transform. Or perhaps we simply need to let go of old patterns that don't serve us any more. It's a chance to be set free from the limitations of the past and to transcend into a higher awareness of self. Even in Ancient Rome the lizard was seen as a symbol of resurrection.
