Vintage Heath Pottery LARGE 14.5 Salad Bowl (prototype / second) circa 1970s. I have owned this bowl since the mid 70s when I received it as a gift from a family member that worked at Heath Pottery in Sausalito CA. The color is very hard to photograph but the first two pictures are the most accurate for color (outside glaze is a beautiful olive green and inside glaze is a dark black/ anthracite gunmetal color). I think it was a second, only due to the sight wave (barely noticeable except in certain light – see picture) and there are some tiny multiple scratches in the outside glaze. As shown in the bottom pictures (not really visible in my opinion when upright on table). Please ask me any.
