Serving Bowl

Large serving bowl with a border of flower design.  

The flowers are formed by a process called Nerikomi, an ancient Japanese decorative process.  Colored clay is shaped into a design, in this case, a flower, and formed into a tube, called a cane.  The cane is sliced thinly in the cross section,  and this slice is inlayed into a slab of clay which is used to form the pot.  

Approx. 12" diameter,.  4" high.
