For our next pick of unique holiday gifts, we head to the high desert: Brian Bosworth of BKB Ceramics in Joshua Tree. Among Bosworth’s newest works is his Spectrum series, in which he melds a Japanese raku process with colors rooted in the midcentury design of nearby Palm Springs.

“I am trying to keep with the primary palette of modernism,” Bosworth said. The pieces pictured here range from $45 to $110, bought through his showroom (open on weekends or by appointment) or through his BKB Ceramics website, where you can see other examples of his work.
