Description:
A shallow, wide-mouthed stoneware bowl with side handles, covered in a turquoise celadon-type glaze with brown streaks. The bowl is visually associated with the early to mid-20th century American Arts and Crafts studio pottery, notable for its hand-thrown form and matte, earthy glaze. The glaze pooling and running marks, as well as the manner of handle application, point to handcrafted production. The foot is raised, and the base shows no clear marks in this image.
Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
This is a handsome, well-glazed Arts and Crafts period studio pottery bowl. The turquoise glaze with brown streaks is typical of American studio ceramics from the early 20th century. While attractive and nicely made, the absence of a visible signature or maker’s mark limits higher valuation, unless provenance is available. Such pieces were popular among American potteries and are collectible, especially when found in good condition.

Identification Score: 90%
The bowl displays defining features of early to mid-20th century American Arts and Crafts studio pottery—distinctive glaze, bowl form, and side handles. The lack of a visible maker’s mark keeps open a small element of uncertainty.
Authenticity Score: 85%
Based on visible form, glazing technique, and wear pattern, the piece appears to be a genuine period studio pottery bowl. However, the absence of a maker's mark or detailed underside image prevents absolute certainty.
