This breathtakingly beautiful handmade ceramic bowl makes a wonderful gift for anyone who appreciates handmade pottery and art. Glazed in a pretty valentine red, it will become a family heirloom cherished by all. This bowl was hand built from stoneware clay, and then glazed in a layered application of colors that includes shades of deep red and black. There's a lot of detail and interest in this piece of handmade pottery. It's a food safe glaze that is durable enough to use in the oven, microwave and dishwasher. And it's decorative enough to keep on the countertop or as an art object in an office , mantel or book shelf. It's a great size to use for serving muffins and breads, cookies and cupcakes, fruit or vegetables, or just as a decorative dish for a shelf or tabletop. This bowl is 2" high x 13" long x 5" across. I have more bowls in this glaze in other sizes.If you'd like a gift card enclosed with this item, leave me the wording in the notes to seller and I'll be sure to include it for you.
