This bowl was created using an Upsala blue porcelain. The clay itself is colored blue, and the inside surface of the bowl was glazed with a clear glossy glaze. The outside was textured both uniquely and beautifully. I left the outside "naked," which is where there is no glaze on the clay.

High end porcelain like this is among the most expensive clays to work with and the creation fail rate can be sky-high, so to achieve a finished piece takes a lot of TLC.

This XXL?bowl is the companion bowl to . They make a truly beautiful set if you'd like to own them both.

This bowl was part of my "Big Bowl Series," which had more than 50 million views over more than a hundred different parts. That was sure fun, wasn't it?

Notes about purchasing?items in this collection:

1. TYPES OF CLAY:
   - Stoneware (one of the strongest forms of pottery, literally becomes stone in the process)
   - Porcelain (even stronger than stoneware, and?costs more due to complexity of and cost of materials)
   
2. Size has much less to do with pricing in this collection than difficulty and complexity of creating the piece. I use different firing methods, glaze techniques, raw materials,?clay type, stains, etc to get every finished pot, and all factors are applied when figuring out the final price.
3. I do my best to accurately measure each bowl, but it can be difficult to be exact with rounded objects so the measurements may vary slightly.
4. Any pot labeled as a?"seconds" in the product title means that?it has one or more?small cosmetic shortcomings. This could include "s-cracks" on the bottom (where you won't see it), non-standard scuffs near the base, tiny chips, micro-surface cracks, etc. Every seconds pot is marked down 10-30% from what it normally would sell for.
5. Any accessories/props, or other bowls from the collection shown?in the photos, are not included.?
6. Always hand-wash handmade ceramics. Dishwashers are not your friend. This bowl, if taken care of, should outlive us both. Always give it TLC.

Please also note that shipping and handling is extra. This is pottery and therefore is fragile. It takes some work, high quality materials, and time to properly package your pottery.
