A similar bowl by the artist is part of the collection of David and Louise Rosenfield hosted by the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, New York.

Which may be used for food or drink are individually tested for lead and the results are shown in the listings. Vintage pieces often contain lead. Please make sure all studio pottery pieces, old or new, used for food or drink are tested for lead! According to the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA)… Today many potters of traditional or’folk’ pottery have switched to non-lead glazes, but they may still be using old kilns that were once used for firing lead-containing glazes, unintentionally contaminating the’lead free’ pottery with lead residues that remain in the kiln from past usage. Because the lead may not fuse into the non-lead glaze, it may contaminate food when the pottery is used with food. If you have any questions, please ask.
