Handmade Ceramic Breton Bowl - Dotted Rim

Inspired by the traditional Breton bowls of Boston ceramicist Florence Penault's home region in France, these bowls have two two tiny handles or ears. They are sized perfectly for ice cream, cereals or a cup of soup. Finished with hand painted black dots on the the handles and inner and outer rims. Sold individually.  Each is one of a kind and will vary slightly. Approximately 3 1/8" tall x 4.25"  opening / diameter Florence resides between France, Connecticut and Boston. Of her work, she says: "My influence is certainly Asian. I made several trips to Japan but I have been mostly influenced by the Korean aesthetic. While in Osaka I saw a simple and humble piece in the Osaka’s museum of ceramics which broke my heart. Well, there were two. One was a black gourd from Korea, the other a white vase, also from Korea, not even regular or symmetrical but full of elegance in its simplicity. It was a lesson that I humbly try to follow. (...) I like minimalism and simplicity and give priority to the shape of a piece so the decoration is secondary. And if I put a decoration, I find inspiration in my everyday life in France and in nature and like keep it simple. "
