The shape of the lip that Linda Christensen put on this bowl is simple and is enhanced by the addition of a little bit of a white glaze on the indented parts of the lip which softens while deepening the indentations. The foot is small and simple not detracting from the attractive lip manipulation.
The visual optics of Shoji Hamada's bowl created by the glaze give the illusion of depth beyond the bowl. It's extremely beautiful. I love the way the colors flow into the center of the bowl. This bowl has a small foot which, I feel, is so that the foot does not detract from the glaze job.
Bernard Leach's bowl also has a larger foot like that of Mackenzie's; however, the glaze does not extend as far down as Mackenzie's when ends up visually separating Leach's bowl from the foot. It shortens the bowl by distinguishing the bowl from the foot and is aided by the multifaceted shape of the bowl from the smoothly curving foot.

The glaze job of Clary Illian's bowl is visually challenging the observer subtly by illustrating the depth of the bowl. The foot is, once again, smaller which doesn't distract the looker from the pattern on the bowl.
