Pottery Serving Bowl In Cream With Blue Flowers

Pottery Serving Bowl In Cream With Blue Flowers

$50

his serving bowl features gorgeous dark blue bands of flowers and makes a stunning centerpiece to any table. The outside color of the bowl is the natural light cream of the bare stoneware clay. Underglaze decals of the flowers were added to the surface of the bisqued piece and then glaze fired. The inside of the bowl has a subtle texture sprialing from the center and is glazed in a deep cobalt blue. The rim of the bowl has a delicate fluted pattern with cobalt blue in the recesses. I added a shiny clear glaze to the entire surface to ensure food safety. The piece is food safe. Due to its size, handwashing is recommended. The bowl photographed measures 11 inches in diameter by 4.25 inches high. The bowl was thrown in my studio in Columbus, Ohio. The material is a stoneware clay which was fired in a electric kiln to cone 6.

I create thrown and slab-built stoneware that is grounded on my formal training in Architectural Engineering. Elements of buildings and the materials used to create them continue to fascinate me. My interest in this is continually renewed as I explore the ways in which clay can imitate some of these rich, tactile surfaces. Applying the basic principles of engineering to a medium as malleable as clay is a constant challenge and one that has kept my interest for over 12 years.

My most recent work has used drawings and photographs to create intricate images. Several of my pieces draw influence from recent trips to Chicago, Japan, and the Czech Republic. The surface of each piece is embellished with architectural details, images and found hardware, duplicated from plaster press molds. The clay is glazed with commercial glazes and washes to bring out the surface texture.
