Marble effect bowl
This simple wheel-thrown bowl on a low foot is made from local red clay, with blue and black slip. The surface of the vessel has been specially treated with Ammonia alum, which, after polishing and firing, gives a marble-like effect to the surface. This particular work is an example of the author's interest in improvising with shapes and textures, and experimenting with chemical elements to achieve fascinating visual effects.
