Dice Bowl

A deep rounded porcelain bowl with a flared rim, its exterior covered in a mottled blue glaze that shows lighter clouds and darker speckles across the surface. The inside is left white and glossy, and the bowl sits alone on a plain gray ground, lit to show its curved form.

Look closer: A faint dark speck and small glaze variations near the lower center of the bowl's body.
