This large Combed Trumpet Flair Bowl in Multi-Layered Glazes is a beautiful example of the joy of wood firing. As the kiln heats, the runny nature of the pre-applied Ash Glaze blends with the Cobalt and Yellow Matte glazes to form a unique color combination that is intentionally different from piece to piece.
Offering guests, family, or friends a treat or special food dish has been a long-standing tradition across many cultures that continues today. Enjoy a cold salad or display of fresh flowers with this lovely handmade bowl. Hand-turned by our current studio apprentice, Silas Bradley. Dishwasher- and microwave-safe. Measuring approximately 11”dia x 5”h.
