The form features a dome-shaped lid with a small hand-formed handle and a matching round base plate. Finished in a warm, speckled rustic glaze, the surface shows natural variations typical of studio pottery, with a hand-applied flowing decorative band that appears organic and abstract in nature. The piece is wheel-thrown, highlighting subtle throwing rings and the tactile qualities of artisan craftsmanship.

This covered dish reflects a rustic studio pottery aesthetic emphasizing natural materials, earthy tones, and functional design. Made from high-fired stoneware, it is both durable and decorative, suitable for storing butter, cheese, or small serving items. The piece is signed on the base by the artist, indicating individual studio production rather than mass manufacture, and likely dates to the mid-to-late 20th century or later, aligning with the handmade studio pottery tradition.] See less
