James Diem Swirl Glaze Bowl

A striking example of modern American studio pottery, this large bowl by ceramicist James Diem showcases a dynamic swirl pattern at its center in vibrant green and amber hues, encased by a smooth matte brown glaze that darkens toward the rim. Measuring 18 inches across and 5 inches high, this substantial piece serves equally well as a statement centerpiece or wall-hung art object (includes wire hanger on the back). Signed “Diem” and dated 2006 on the base.
