Kathy Cady began this bowl on the wheel and then made a deliberate, inspired decision: to let her hands reshape what the wheel had started. The result is a form that occupies the territory between circle and square, its rim gently coaxed into four soft corners that give the piece a relaxed, organic geometry unlike anything a mold could produce.
The exterior tells a story of fire and earth. A creamy white soda glaze drapes over the upper exterior and rim like fresh snow settling on rough iron stone, the two surfaces meeting in an irregular, dripping boundary that is purely spontaneous.
Look inside and everything changes: a smooth, crackle-glazed interior in soft celadon grey reflects light pooling at the bowl’s center with quiet, almost meditative beauty.
Perfect cradled in both hands for a small pour of miso soup on a cold morning, or holding a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on a summer evening.
