Description:
This is a studio art pottery bowl made from stoneware clay. The bowl features hand-thrown concentric rings, a vibrant reddish-purple glaze with lighter accents, and a distinctive ruffled rim, finished with a metallic or high-gloss dark glaze. The hand-formed nature and whimsical rim suggest individual craftsmanship rather than mass production. Likely from a contemporary or mid-to-late 20th century pottery studio.
