This beautiful curved bowl is part of my indigenous plants of the USA series. After throwing the pot I paint layers of glaze on the still wet clay and then carve out the outlines of the coral honeysuckle flowers and leaves. This is an 18th century Italian technique called Sgraffito. The pot then goes through its first of two firings with a glaze application in between. I love the shifting color gradient on the flowers from a deep magenta to luscious coral tipped with happy little yellow stamens.
Bowl dimensions: 4” high x 5.25” diameter
