About Engraved Bowl With Black and Pale green

This striking hand-built and engraved bowl is by ceramicist Loren Kaplan. The Canadian artist has created an elegant series of bowls in distinctive patterns and colours. This piece has a black and cream-coloured floral and striped motif on the exterior complemented by the glazed pale green interior.

“Once built, the surface of the vessels are carved, sculpted or engraved with intricate patterns and symbols that combine the geometric and organic.” Loren Kaplan
