Humble Earth Bowl Black with Red

This hand-thrown ceramic bowl is a striking fusion of form, texture, and contrasting color. Crafted on the potter’s wheel from stoneware clay, the bowl features a gracefully flared edge that opens outward, giving it an elegant, flower-like silhouette. The form is both functional and sculptural, ideal for serving or display.

The exterior is glazed in a deep matte or satin black, providing a dramatic and grounding backdrop. Scattered across this dark surface are sporadic, hand-formed circles of red glaze, each one slightly irregular and organic—like ancient symbols or abstract blossoms. These red accents add visual rhythm and a touch of earthy vibrance, standing out boldly against the black background.

In contrast, the interior is glazed in a warm, natural tan, with a smooth, semi-gloss finish that enhances the clay’s texture and warmth. The light color creates a beautiful visual contrast to the dark exterior, drawing the eye inward and highlighting the contents of the bowl when in use.

This piece carries the essence of handcrafted artistry—bold yet balanced, modern yet rooted in traditional ceramic techniques. It’s equally suited for serving food, holding fruit, or simply being admired as a work of functional art.
