Terracotta Artistic Pedestal Bowl

This one-of-a-kind sculptural pedestal bowl is a striking example of handmade ceramic art, featuring a wide, shallow bowl elevated on a cylindrical footed base. Crafted in a rich terracotta-colored clay, the surface is adorned with raised abstract and architectural elements, including geometric forms and pillar-like structures. Accents of gold leaf and deep blue pigment lend a modern, symbolic quality to the design, making this an eye-catching decorative centerpiece or collector’s item. The piece evokes both urban and celestial themes, with a strong sense of balance and spatial composition.

Likely created in the late 20th to early 21st century, this bowl is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The base and surface show natural irregularities consistent with hand-thrown and hand-built ceramic work. The underside remains unglazed.
