Tri-colored fruit bowl


This is one of my best most simple pieces. This tri-colored fruit bowl is a gently curved porcelain bowl. Until my next batch gets fired, this is my largest object sucessfully thrown. I think the reddish color is burgundy under shadow green.

A ruffled edged bowl in 6 colors

I threw this wide based cylinder too thin and drew the walls out at too steep an increase, instead of letting the walls flop over, I created several undulations that strengthened the walls. This had to be trimmed by hand except for the base which I trimmed on the bat. The colors are purple, speckled ivory, shadow green, burgundy and speckled rust. There is also texturizer. Karen and I gave this to her cousin and husband Vanessa and Todd.
