Description

Buff, pale brown, and dark brown hand-built stoneware with a sandy surface

Buff, pale brown, and dark brown hand-built stoneware with a sandy surface. The bowl is not quite circular, with deep gently curving sides rising from a very narrow base, which has a small circular depression in the centre, surrounded by a flat, ground-down zone on which the bowl rests. The sides are decorated with an integral 'haloes spiral' in shades of brown which is visible on the interior and exterior. Oxidation firing at 1280 degrees celsius.
