Optical Bowl with Fractured Rim

Fritsch, Elizabeth

We’re working on releasing this image.

Bowl, stoneware painted with white and coloured slips, flattened elliptical shape with flat base, the sides rising to a slightly everted rim, the rim higher at the back and shaped to give the illusion of a fully rounded bowl; the whole of the exterior except the base overlaid with a speckled white slip, a band round the rim and the top edge painted in coloured slips (white, dark green, pale greeny-blue, pale blue, rusty brown breaking to orange/ochre, buff) in angled strips to give the effect of fractured faultlines.

We have a duty of care to all our audiences. This website draws on legacy collections data. We recognise that some of this information may be outdated or discriminatory and we're currently working to review our records. If you have any questions or comments on an artwork, please contact us.
