Larger and more openly proportioned, this agateware porcelain bowl by Kathy Cady carries the same joyful language of color-through-clay but speaks it with greater confidence and sweep. Coral pink and aqua mint flow through bright white in broad, generous bands that wrap the exterior in long horizontal ribbons, the colors distinct and clear against one another, unhurried in their passage around the form.
The interior reveals the technique at its most thrilling. Looking down into the bowl is like watching a whirlpool of color frozen mid-motion, the three porcelain clays spiraling inward from the wall to the center floor in a tight, luminous vortex that changes with every shift of light. These are not surface decorations. This color lives all the way through the clay body, an inseparable part of the material itself.
The form is classic and undemanding, a clean hemisphere with a smooth, rolling rim that invites the hand naturally.
Perfect for a generous serving of chilled cucumber soup on a summer afternoon, or a full bowl of fresh berries at a leisurely weekend breakfast.
