Mid-Century Hand-thrown Pedestal Bowl with White Fat Lava Glazing dance mask rendered on a larger board

rendered on a larger board to which the former is mounted

which stands sturdily on its smart rotating puzzle piece of a base--while requiring patience and developing balancing skills as one goes

with a strong Cubist influence as well

The top of each side is attached by brass hinges near the handle

I really like its combination of specific details and loose gestures

It would also make a great serving bowl, with the pedestal base making a trivet underneath it
