The shallow, oval form features a beautifully balanced design, highlighting both the natural texture of the clay and the artist’s hand in its creation. The surface is finished in a soft matte glaze of muted sage green, accentuated by an abstract white and blue motif painted across the center. The decoration, reminiscent of stylized plant or totemic forms, is rendered with confident, fluid brushstrokes that reveal the spontaneity of handcraft. Subtle variations in color and glaze texture — from smooth satin to gently speckled — give the bowl depth and warmth, emphasizing its one-of-a-kind character. See less
