This vintage studio art pottery bowl is wheel-thrown in terra cotta and finished with a fluid baby-blue drip glaze that pools and trails across the interior and exterior surfaces. The expressive glaze application emphasizes movement and spontaneity, a defining characteristic of mid-century studio ceramics that prioritized surface interaction and individual hand over uniformity.
The gently flared rim and compact proportions support both visual balance and tactile presence. Signed to the base, the bowl reflects small-batch studio production rather than industrial manufacture, aligning with the postwar studio pottery movement that valued experimentation and material honesty.
The exposed terra cotta body provides tonal contrast to the cool glaze, reinforcing the piece’s sculptural quality. Intended as a display object or functional catchall, the bowl embodies mid-century ceramic practice focused on form, glaze, and process.
Provenance details unknown; acquired directly from a Northern California collection.
