This wonderful medium-sized post-modern ceramic bowl was hand crafted by artist Raza Saldaitis in her Florida studio. She has been creating versatile and decorative ceramic treasures for over 30 years. The bowl features a bright orange and red fish in the center on a background of ivory with pale blue swirls. The stylistic rim of the bowl is pale blue (with a Greek key-style design) and cotton candy pink. The "wrapped" handles are a moss green with a mottled green-rust base (see photos). Edging and design on the back of the bowl is a deep teal green, also on an ivory background. I don't know the exact age of the piece, but would estimate 1990s based on the style and color palette.
This one of a kind bowl measures about 14 inches in diameter, handle-to-handle, at the widest point across the top (see photo). It is approximately 3 inches deep with a gentle concave curve. It's a great cabinet / shelf-friendly size that will also work well in many spaces as decor. As a bonus, this piece is functional as well as decorative! It has been double-fired (in a kiln) with a food-safe ceramic glaze, so it's also a great option for serving food, fruit, or vegetables. There's a twist-tie loop (see photo) on the back of the piece that's a hanger, so it can be displayed as art on the wall, a counter, or shelf.
It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or crazing. The colors are bright and vibrant.
