This is a hand made serving bowl that would work well for big salads, pho, or ramen. Its stately popular form echoes historic pottery forms from around the world while retaining a dignified but playful presence on your table. The exterior of this bowl is decorated with a subtle satin beige glaze that has a semi-gloss black brown glaze playfully trailed over the exterior in a series of loops that bring the eye around the piece. Where the glaze becomes thicker it creates more voluminous and textured points which punctuate the movement around the bowl. This piece would be a great addition to any home that loves large soups or salads. When not in use for serving meals it would also function as a fruit bowl for clementine's or garlic. This bowl measures 7.5"x7.5"x4.25" and holds about 5.5 cups or 1.3 L of liquid when filled near the brim. This bowl is microwave and dishwasher safe.

Each piece begins when the porcelain is crafted by hand in small batches in the artists home. After the clay is ready it is made uniform through a process called wedging. When the clay is completely homogeneous and free of air any large air pockets it is worked into a ball and thrown by hand on the potters wheel. After the bowl is the desired shape and size it is cut free from the wheel and set aside to allow moisture to evaporate so that it can be turned over and a foot may be trimmed. Once this has all happened the bowl is set aside and allowed to slowly dry to prevent warping and cracking. After it had completely dried it was loaded into a kiln with other work and heated in a firing up to 1945 F in order to make it durable for the glazing process. After the 24 hour firing process the piece was unloaded and then through various mark making and glazing techniques the piece was decorated and set aside to dry. Once dry and the kiln was full the pieces were then again heated. This time they were heated to 2200 F. This firing melts the glaze and the clay into glassy, strong, non-porous, durable pieces.
