86. Richard Gilson, small bowl

 

 

 

For Gilson, see item 85.

Off-white clay, white glaze; base of foot ring left unglazed. Weight: 306 g (11 oz). Rim and maximum diameter: 13.7 cm (5-3/8 in); foot ring diameter: 6.3 cm (2-1/2 in). Height: 6 cm (2-3/8 in).

The foot ring is about an eighth of an inch on the exterior. The area within the ring was hollowed out to a similar depth. “Gilson” was incised into the base; it is faintly visible under the glaze. Above the foot the walls rise outward in a shallow convex arc to just beneath the rim where they flare out slightly.

Except for the base of the foot ring, the interior and exterior of the piece were glazed in white.

Purchased at the annual spring sale at Feet of Clay Pottery, Brookline, Massachusetts, April 2019.
