Description
Attractive studio pottery bowl featuring a neutral, light-colored reactive glaze over a textured stoneware body. The underside is signed by the artist in dark slip or glaze. The base remains unglazed to show the natural clay body and is equipped with three cork feet to prevent surface scratching.
Key Features
Hand-signed by artist, unique organic aesthetic, neutral 'Japandi' style, includes protective cork feet.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence as an original studio piece. The fluid hand-brushed signature and raw clay foot are hallmarks of independent potter production.
Flaws to Note
Minor adhesive staining/residue around the cork feet on the bottom. One cork pad appears slightly worn.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy is the best platform for artist-signed ceramics. eBay or Depop are secondary options if marketed as 'cottagecore' or 'boho' decor.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'OOAK' (One of a Kind), 'Stoneware', 'Mid-Century Modern style', and 'Artisan Signed'. Take photos of the signature clearly and provide a view of the interior/top of the bowl.
