This small studio pottery bowl by South African ceramicist John Ellis, also affectionately known as “John the Potter,” showcases his distinctive approach to glaze layering and form. Compact yet visually rich, the bowl features a gently rounded profile with a textured exterior and a richly glazed interior that draws the eye inward.

Sized perfectly for display, this bowl works just as well as a decorative accent as it does for holding small objects on a desk, console, or coffee table.
