DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: The  bowl stands on a small, elongated octagonal base with sloping sides. Its two asymmetric sides are pushed together, creating a long, narrow opening at the top which is rounded at one end and slightly pointed at the other. The upper edges are similar to each other; towards the rounded end the rim rises up and falls again. The lower edges of the sides are joined, forming a part-circular shape. There are three moulded, sweeping curves on each side of the bowl, the ends splayed apart at the rounded end and gathered together into an open point at the other. The vase seems to balance on its small base, whilst the shape, mouldings and matt glaze convey a sense of lightness and flight. The underside is deeply recessed into the base, and glazed.
object type: Earthenware, slip-cast and covered with white 'Festival' matt glaze.
