This is a beautiful small hand-signed studio art pottery bowl with a dramatic raku-fired finish.
The exterior features a dark, almost volcanic black shell texture with organic cracking and fissures from the raku reduction process. The interior is finished in a striking blue crackle glaze, resembling branching ice or lightning patterns, pooling darker toward the center.
A stylized gold artist signature is present on the side (see close-up photos). The piece has a strong modern studio art aesthetic and works well as a decorative bowl, display piece, or small catchall.
