Deep Handthrown Pottery Bowl with Matte Blue-Purple Glaze primitive kitchen utensil lower the hydrometer into itEverything about this hand thrown stoneware bowl is, I think, just right. It's got a great form, with beautiful rounded lip; terrific matte purplish blue glaze; and is nice and deep so as to be useful in the kitchen, for serving, and all sorts of other things. Nothing fussy or fancy about it, just honestly made and really lovely. I think you'd find yourself using this bowl all of the time. 6 1 8" across at widest x 3 1 2" tall. Excellent condition.
