Handmade Glazed Ceramic Freeform Sculptural Bowl

This item is a small, handmade decorative ceramic bowl featuring a highly organic, freeform sculptural design. The piece is constructed with high, undulating vertical lobes that create a series of cut-out or negative spaces around the perimeter, giving it a distinctive 'crown' or 'splatter' silhouette. It is finished in a multi-tonal cream and tan glaze with visible crackle or crazing patterns, possibly a reactive glaze that has pooled in the bottom to create a darker, mottled interior. The exterior exhibits a matte to semi-gloss texture with earthy undertones. Based on the irregularity of the shape and the thickness of the clay walls, this appears to be a studio pottery piece likely dating from the late 20th century to the early 21st century. The condition appears stable, though there is visible surface dust and the glaze crackle may be intentional (crackle glaze) or due to age. No maker's marks are visible from this angle, but the level of craftsmanship indicates a unique, non-commercial production. The base appears flat to support the complex vertical structure.
