Mid-Century Footed Ceramic Centerpiece Bowl

This is a substantial footed ceramic centerpiece bowl, exhibiting a distinct Mid-Century Modern aesthetic typical of the 1950s or 1960s. The piece features a shallow, wide basin supported by a flared pedestal base. A highly unique characteristic of this item is the presence of three curved, decorative handles or supports that bridge the upper basin to the lower base; these elements are finished with a textured, ribbed pattern reminiscent of bamboo or rattan. The color palette is composed of a glossy cream-colored interior and base, contrasted by a caramel or mocha brown drip-glaze effect around the rim and on the textured handles. The glazed finish is smooth and reflective, suggesting a high-fire ceramic process. In terms of condition, the bowl appears to be in good vintage state, though there is a visible chip on the exterior edge of the rim where the brown glaze meets the cream body. There are also subtle indications of crazing consistent with age. The craftsmanship is indicative of studio pottery or a specialty manufacturer like those found in California or Italian mid-century ceramics. No maker's mark is immediately visible in the provided image, but the quality of the glaze transitons and the complexity of the molded 'bamboo' supports suggest a professional production house.
