Chunky Hand-thrown Stoneware Bowl in Best Soft Yellow Glaze, Signed RSR tan and red with minor stains/toning

with minor stains/toning

To my eye a perfect image

but I'm very glad it exists

which I'd guess date to the 1920s or 30s

and so perhaps it was carved just following the form of the wood

Chunky Hand-thrown Stoneware Bowl in Best Soft Yellow Glaze, Signed RSR tan and red with minor stains/toningThis one I purchased from a favorite dealer in Cambridge, MA, for whom a yellow glazed pot is pushing the edges of a very minimalist aesthetic and palette but if there were ever an unfussy bowl it is this one, and the yellow glaze, softer and a bit paler than photos well convey, feels less like a color than like a feeling to drink in, and completely of the earth. Thick walled, chunky, not quite symmetrical, but perfect in its way. 6 3 8 d 2 3 8 t.
