The first historical bowls that I liked is the pair of
low-footed bowls with busts of Ruggieri and Filomena. I liked the colors used to
decorate the bowls with very simple yet regal colors with the yellow and blue. The
side portrait of the heroes on these bowls does remain me of side portraits of
heroes/important people on the side of coins and/or medals.
The second historical set of bowls that I liked is the Monochrome
bowls. I liked the simplicity look of it – each has a nice earth tone color and
basic outer rim, shape, and size. I can’t believe how durable these bowls are,
lasting since the early first century A.D.
The first contemporary set of bowls that I really liked is
the Andy Shaw ceramic bowls. Just like the Monochrome bowls, I liked how simple
and classic looking it is – the circular shape and white smooth surface on the inside
and on rim. Also, the simple decor on the outside added a nice touch to the
pieces.
The second contemporary bowl that I really liked is part of the
Lobed Bowls by Michel Conroy. It was a very interesting piece. The combination
of the odd shape with the warm yellow color on the inside and light green color
on the outside was very visually appealing. I’m amazed at how this was made.
