This small ceramic bowl from the 1970s stands out with its deep, glossy dark blue—almost black—glaze that envelops both the body and the interior. The upper rim is adorned with a thick layer of iridescent blue glaze, accented by hints of turquoise and subtle purple tones, creating a foamy, organic effect reminiscent of flowing lava. The bowl’s low, wide, rounded form and pronounced thick rim, combined with its relatively shallow interior, reflect the modernist sensibilities of the era, with emphasis on organic shapes and experimental glazing techniques. The surface is uniformly smooth and lustrous; the base is either unglazed or only minimally glazed, in keeping with the hand-crafted ceramics typical of the period. There are no chips or cracks, confirming its very good state of preservation. This bowl carries the spirit of the 1970s, when ceramic craft embraced experimentation and a search for individuality. The saturated, almost nocturnal blue evokes the depth of the sea or an evening sky, while the foaming glaze at the rim tells a story of water spilling over the edge. The organic contours and dynamic glazing suggest a closeness to nature, with every detail echoing the hand of the maker and a desire for uniqueness. The bowl is suited to both vintage ceramics collections and everyday settings—serving snacks, fruit, or small items. It could be paired with other mid-century modern pieces
