About:

This beautifully proportioned studio pottery bowl captures the quiet confidence of late 20th-century handmade ceramics. 

Thrown in warm stoneware and finished in a soft cream glaze, it features a hand-painted floral sunburst motif that adds subtle character without overpowering the form. 

This piece strongly reflects the 1970s studio pottery movement, with its honest materials, tactile rim detailing, and restrained decorative motif.

The textured rim and visible throwing lines celebrate the potter’s hand, making this an ideal piece for lovers of earthy interiors, mid-century design, or slow-made objects. 

This incredibly piece could be used equally at home as a fruit bowl, serving piece, or decorative centrepiece.
