Red stoneware bark bowl

I went for a walk in the woods a few kilometers from Berlin and was inspired to reproduce the familiar yet fascinating structure of bark I saw all around me. I hand-pinched this bowl from red stoneware, covered it with porcelain slip and widened just so that I could achieve this beautiful structure. I left the outside unglazed to highlight the beautiful structure. The inside is glazed with my white matte glaze.  

The bowl is around 12 cm in diameter and 8 cm in height. It is handmade so it is not a perfect round object. 

All my pieces are handmade by me in my Berlin studio. They feature glazes I made and formulated. I recommend hand-washing this particular bowl.
