This generously-sized serving bowl is created with a timeless sense of style that will blend with virtually any decor. The inside of the dish features a pleasing light tan glaze which contrasts nicely with the darker exterior. Soda firing, a technique with German roots, creates the dynamic shades of brown and flashes of iridescence seen on the outside surface. The effect is achieved by introducing baking soda into the kiln at extremely high temperatures. The nature of the process means that every piece is unique, so yours will resemble, but not match the photos.
