The bowl shape was inspired by a neolithic bowl. I’m not sure where it was from, but I found it by doing a google search of “ancient Finnish pottery” or something like that. I hope it was from Finland, and I hope it was from near Lappi. In my mind, it was. The cup is a pretty basic cup form. I like seeing the throwing lines under the glaze. My friend Mike made this beautiful glaze, and he calls it Persimmon.
