So worth it... The incredibly difficult part of creating this bowl is that all of the colors and patterns were creating using a nerikomi clay combining technique with different colored porcelains (an incredibly difficult clay to work with in solid form). There is no glaze at all?on this bowl to really show off the combining of the porcelains in this purposefully shaped and textured-rimmed bowl.?

This style of pottery is time-intensive and expensive to create, but the results are always so unique and one of a kind.

The colors of porcelain?we used were Upsala blue, jet black, and pure white.

Ceramic Artist: Dan Pearce & Courtney Mathewson
Size: 9.25" x 2"
Foodsafe: No, decorative only

This bowl was part of my "Blue, Black, & White" series, which Courtney and I created while the Big Bowls Series was playing out. We got hyper-creative with each design, working to create absolutely unique and breathtaking pieces. There are 8 different bowls in this collection, all completely different from one another.

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.

SHIPPING:?

I live/work in the USA, but you can order this pottery to be delivered?just about anywhere in the world. Insurance is optional and can be added to your order.

Please note that it may take me 7-10?days?to get your order ready to ship. This is a very big collection and it's going to take me some time to organize it all and make sure everyone's orders are packaged securely and perfectly. Thanks for understanding!

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. All rates are factored in with real time pricing plus a materials/handling fee and will vary depending on where you live.
