Before I began to form this bowl, I inlaid coils of marbleized black and turquoise clay into the white porcelain I had centered on the wheel. As the wheel turned and my hands moved up the clay, both my hands and the clay moved in a spiral, creating the wonderful swirls of color you see on this bowl. This bowl is approximately 7.5" in diameter and 3.5" high.
I have to say this--when you purchase this, you are not simply buying a bowl. You are buying a piece of Nerikomi, an ancient art in which the artist uses inlaid colored clay to decorate a vessel.
