Handmade Figurative Ceramic Bowl — Etched Narrative Art Pottery with Nude Figure & House Motif

This hand-thrown ceramic bowl features a subtle, narrative design etched into its softly glazed surface — a minimalist nude figure wraps gently around one side, while a small house and plant form sit opposite, almost like a dream remembered. Yellow polka dots float across the inner and outer surface, lending a touch of quiet whimsy. Though unsigned, the craftsmanship and artistic expression are unmistakable. With its gentle crackle glaze and earth-toned washes, this piece feels both grounded and imaginative.

Perfect as a functional bowl or an intimate sculptural accent.

Why I Chose This Piece
This bowl stopped me in my tracks. The long, gestural arms, the delicate lines, the house motif — it all feels like a visual poem in clay. There's something very tender and private about it, like it came from someone’s sketchbook made tangible. It’s one of those pieces you don’t forget, and I knew it belonged in Angela’s Finds and Faves the moment I saw it.
