About:

This beautifully weighted studio bowl is a quiet statement piece that utilises earthy, tactile, and unmistakably hand-thrown styles, with an Interior finished in a tenmoku-style iron glaze, featuring warm speckling and visible throwing rings.

Although exact names are unknown, the “CMC” on the base likely shows a studio-potters hand-made craftsmanship rather than that of a moulded factory-produced piece, and the '80' on the backstamp also implies this incredible piece to be from the year 1980.

This bowl would feel equally at home in a ceramic collection or as a daily-use object that celebrates it and the potters unique craftsmanship.
