Marbled Bowl

A deep, rounded bowl on a short foot, its cream glaze covered by dark brown and black swirls that fan out in feather-like arcs. The marbling wraps the inside and outside, and a glossy glaze catches light near the rim. The bowl sits centered against a soft gray studio backdrop.

Look closer: A small glossy glaze drip and pooled sheen are visible on the inner rim near the top center.
