This tea bowl from ancient China is simple, but utilitarian.
I am amazed that it has existed as long as it has. It has a nice, consistent
lip and a slender foot that is very well done. I like that the bowl shape stands
up a ways from the base of the foot.
The bowls featuring a pair of rabbits from ancient New
Mexico are stylistically specific to that region. I chose this because it is so
different than ceramic pieces we see from Oriental cultures. 
Instantly, I LOVED the colors of these bowls made in 2004 by
Hayne Bayless. The copper glaze and turquoise provide such a beautiful contrast
because they are complimentary colors. The bowl shape within itself is
interesting, with the feet being angular which mirrors the body of the bowl. I liked this red bowl with the orange center by Linda Arbuckle in 2005 because it reminded me of Mediterranean ceramic tiles. The four notches on the edge of the bowl are cool.
