Purple Glazed Ruffled Ceramic Bowl

This item is a decorative deep-well bowl featuring a distinctive ruffled or undulating rim. Constructed from ceramic, likely earthenware or stoneware, the piece is finished with a vibrant, high-gloss plum or royal purple glaze. The thick application of glaze suggests a contemporary production, possibly late 20th century to modern day. The bowl's form is defined by six or seven soft folds along the top edge, creating a wide, scalloped silhouette that mimics fabric or floral petals. Physically, the item appears medium-sized, suitable for use as a fruit bowl or a tabletop centerpiece. The interior and exterior are uniformly colored, though light reflections reveal a slightly uneven, handmade, or hand-finished surface texture common in mass-produced artisanal-style pottery. There are no immediate signs of chips, cracks, or significant crazing visible in the photograph, suggesting the condition remains excellent. The base is not visible to confirm a maker's mark, but the style is consistent with decorative home goods retailers or craft pottery. The weight appears substantial given the thickness of the rim folds, indicating a durable build quality.
