Tall Sided Cream Bowl

This bowl has a deep round form which has been gently pushed in, at intervals,  near the rim, lending a tactility to the shape. The rounded body hovers lightly on a stable yet minimal base. The soft translucent glaze shows a lovely dipping of the glaze on the inside rim and two  curved strokes brushed in dark glaze are intertwined on the inside base of the bowl. 

Porcelain, glazes
