(More customer reviews)In addition to being beautifully presented, the bowls depicted in this trim 8" x 8" publication, run the gamet from functional to sculptural, not missing some wonderful stops in between. Leslie Thompson's Patterned Pueblo Bread-Raising Bowl is a perfect example of function - a utilitarian shape accented with a band of scraffito patterning - and at the same time, sculptural in appearance. Her Hatched Triangles bowl further back in the collection is just that, a sculptural interpretation of classic form! What's even nicer is that in many instances, more than one bowl is shown by the same artist, giving the peruser a sense of the creator as well as their creations. This book showcases clay artists chosen for their work rather than their notoriety, something many other contemporary epistles fail to do. A great compliment to this is Lark's previous publication, 500 Teapots.

500 Bowls: Contemporary Explorations of a Timeless DesignFive hundred inspiring variations on the simple, functional bowl will fire any potter's imagination. Displayed on each page are bowls that reinvent and reinterpret the form, and use techniques from across the globe and through the centuries. More importantly, every piece, such as Kate Maury's wheel-thrown porcelain, Stephen F. Fabrico's slab-built bowl with handles, and Ruchika Madan's stoneware Fruit Bowl, testifies to the artist's boundless inventiveness. Captions give each bowl's size, with details on its material and glazes.
