Category: Pottery | Posted by | Fri, Jun 2nd 2017, 2:55pm
This bowl is a major accomplishment by Joy Navasie. It is exceptionally large and beautifully presented. The walls have a mathematically-precise curve with a significant overhang at the rim. A 1-3/4-inch wide band of painted design fills the exterior wall and a Sikyatki-inspired design fills the interior bottom. There is a beautiful golden blush on the exterior from the firing process. Joy Navasie was an accomplished potter who earned the praise bestowed on her and her work.
