Beautiful piece, it's a bowl within a bowl. From the signature on the back...which I can not read, it appears to be handmade, and it's very well made. Feels like stoneware very heavy. Excellent Condition, I didn't see any chips. Nice for entertaining, chips, dip, salsa, veggies...whatever you like. This will be an eye catcher at any gathering. The colors are beautiful. Please zoom into all pictures for details and dimensions.
