Wheel-thrown and raised on three applied clay feet, the piece has a sculptural presence and a thoughtfully balanced form.

Likely American studio work from the late 20th century, the bowl reflects postmodern ceramic influences through its playful use of color, visible handwork, and organic asymmetry, while also nodding to Japanese mingei and wabi-sabi traditions. The intentional crazing adds depth and visual interest, making this piece ideal as a decorative accent for shelves, consoles, or tabletop styling.
