What makes the bowl
so enduring? It has everything: form, volume, surface, texture and
color. It can be both functional and decorative, yet the bowl is one
of the simplest and most basic forms that potters make. You may
think that after 10,000 years of history, there's nothing new to say
with this vessel. The 500 masterful works presented in this book
prove otherwise. |

redefines the art. Juried by Terry Gess, this provocative color
gallery presents 500 breathtaking images that include everything
from handbuilt to wheel-thrown, practical to sculptural, round to
