A contemporary hand-built stoneware bowl of irregular, rustic form featuring a space-themed design. The piece is distinguished by a three-dimensional, stylized ceramic rocket ship applied to the rim, decorated with metallic tones and incised rivet details. The interior is finished in a dark, slightly metallic black glaze with sgraffito decoration filled with a light-coloured slip. The design includes numerous multi-pointed stars and a hand-inscribed quote encircling the interior well which reads: Fly me to the moon let me play among the stars. The exterior of the bowl is left unglazed, showing a coarse, textured buff-coloured clay body with a naturalistic finish. There are no visible maker’s marks or signatures.
Diameter: approximately 18cm.
