DESCRIPTION: This museum quality effort from the Heinos is a deep voluminous bowl that rises up out of a beautifully proportioned foot ring and gently retracts to meet a wide recessed rim. The decorative aspects of the pot are no less impressive. The exterior wall has a chocolate brown glaze with near metallic tones at the rim and above the base. In between, it is decorated with a grid created by the intersections of deep carved vertical grooves and shallower horizontal rings. This portion is further adorned with a blend of cobalt blue and milky white glazes. The interior of the bowl has a chestnut speckled creamy white glaze and exhibits meticulous throwing lines that enriches it textural palette. This exceptional work measures app 8 at its widest and stands 5 5/8 high at the rim. It is in mint condition- no chips, cracks or repairs- and has the potters incised first names in the interior of the unglazed foot ring.
