Chrysanthemum Bowl

I am a Chrysanthemum Bowl. Life is just a bowl of cherries.

Curator's Notes 

The glaze made with mountain ash is what makes this bowl so special as the iron deposits give it a speckled pattern that can only be achieved by chance. Each bowl is entirely one-of-a-kind in this way.

Chrysanthemum Bowl was curated by Angélique Chmielewski.
