Description:
This is a small bowl made of stoneware with a hand-applied glaze.

The bowl's glaze exhibits a muted, earthy tone common among modern and contemporary studio ceramics.
Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
This appears to be a mid to late 20th-century piece of studio pottery, likely made by an unknown or amateur potter. The inscribed code on the base is typical of individually crafted or student ceramics rather than mass-produced wares. No indications of great rarity or high-value artist seen here, but the bowl may still have modest collectible or decorative appeal.
Individual Images:
- The close-up of the base highlights a hand-inscribed code/mark
- which supports identification as studio pottery. The unglazed foot rim and visible wear are consistent with expected age. No major cracks or repairs are visible in the image.
Provenance:
No provenance information available.
Condition:
Very Good (minor surface wear, glaze intact, no major chips visible)
Identification Score: 75%
The identification is fairly certain due to the visible hand-thrown characteristics and inscribed base mark, which are consistent with studio pottery from the mid to late 20th century, but the maker cannot be confirmed from the mark shown.
Authenticity Score: 90%
This piece shows appropriate wear, glaze application, and base details consistent with handmade studio pottery from the mid-20th century onward. No signs of fakery or modern reproduction techniques are present.
