A beautiful signed piece of 1970s American studio pottery, this handmade ceramic bowl with lid features a soft cream glaze accented by deep navy decoration and a bold spiral motif on the lid.

The piece is signed and dated “Holmquist ’76” on the underside, indicating it was made in 1976 by the artist. During the 1970s craft movement, many ceramicists produced functional pottery like this in small studio batches, often signing and dating their work individually. Pieces from this era are appreciated for their organic shapes, subtle glaze variations, and handcrafted character.

The lid sits nicely within the bowl and the spiral decoration adds a striking graphic element while still maintaining the understated aesthetic typical of mid-century and 1970s studio pottery.

This bowl would work beautifully as a decorative accent piece, small serving bowl, jewelry holder, or collectible studio pottery display.
