This studio art display bowl with cut outs in the shape of isosceles triangles and bead work strung inside of them is a handmade piece of art pottery created by artist Van Price in 2002. Featuring a unique matte brown exterior with glossy black interior, this two-toned clay bowl is intricately designed with cut outs and bead work, making it a stunning decorative piece for any home. This one-of-a-kind bowl is a perfect addition to any collection showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of the artist and the pottery studio in which it was produced.
The bowl was done not only by a master potter on a pottery wheel but also a potter skilled at the art & design of using beads for trim as the bead with a spiral pattern on either side of the bowl is centered inside the triangle and held in place by tiny strands of string threaded through three holes drilled into the bowl on all three sides of the triangle giving this piece a mixed media approach to its craftsmanship. The potter was able to work with two mediums: forming a bowl on a potter's wheel and stringing beads inside triangular cut outs that only an experienced, skilled, talented, and gifted artist can accomplish.
The bowl is an artistic one used mainly for display rather than food use and would do well in a glass china cabinet, on a lighted pedestal, in a built-in wall unit, on a desk or credenza in a home/business office, or anywhere else you would want to place a museum quality piece of handmade pottery.
The bowl measures 3 3/4" tall from the tabletop to the rim X 8 1/2" in diameter across the top X 3" in diameter across the bottom of it and it is in 'mint' condition and is signed by the potter "Van Price" and dates "2002" making it a contemporary art piece.
