This bowl looks like it has an interesting texture to it, although I'm not sure it that because of the way it was built or the way it was glazed. I love that the entire bowl isn't encased in one solid color. the same color is used yet the shade varies depending on which part of the bowl your looking at.

I love the contrast in size between the actual bowl and the feet on this piece. The way it was glazed also gives it an old, almost antique feel to it. It looks like some sort of chalice, overall it's a very well done piece.

This bowl is one of my favorites because it has overall elegant almost regal feel to it. The designs on it are simple yet effective and compliment the way the bowl was trimmed.

This bowl has a small foot when compared to the other bowls, yet I think using a small foot on the bowl was effective because it makes the eye focus on the way the bowl was glazes as opposed to the shape. It also looks like the trimming on the bowl has slight indentations, however that might be a part of the glaze, either way, it's a very beautiful bowl.

Like the bowl before, this bowl too has a very small foot. The shape of this bowl is different from the other because it's more open which leads me to believe that the artist wanted to lead the viewers eye toward the inside of the bowl as opposed to the outside. The way this bowl was glazed is absolutely beautiful. The different shades of brown and blue really compliment each other.

Layn Holman Bowl Feet

I like this bowl, the paint is artsy and classy. It looks like it would do its job well without tipping or spilling. The texture looks intresting as well. As for the feet, they are large enough to support the rest of the bowl without causing any problems. This is definitely my favorite bowl in the series.
This saucer bowl looks like its top heavy causing it to do its job to a lesser extent. The paint job looks very arty but not very classy. I enjoy how they did the lip tho. The feet in my opinion should be larger/heaver but other then that they are decent.
This bowl is uneven at the top which displeases me. The paint job also looks pretty shotty from all the discolouration in the body of the bowl. The feet are also nothing special. The way it bevels out is nice and shows that they actualy wanted to do something good with the feet but overall its not very awe inspiring.
This bowl looks allright, the black colour is enjoyable to look at and the outer design is classy. The feet are not really special, it goes in to a small base and isn't coloured making the feet have an all around meh feel.

This Bowldosen't look very good to me. It has a chunk missing from it and the texture does not seem very pleasing. As for the feet, it's decent. I like how it comes out but I also think that it is to large.

Bowls/Feet

Again the color of the glaze catches my eye on this piece I also enjoy the small details as well as the foot that has been placed on it. Its shape is smooth and stunning, well done.
The price on this bowl is still shocking, yet a wonderfully crafted bowl, the way the glaze looks as if its dripping towards the center is catching. I also like the green streak running down the left side, it reminds me of a tree or stone, very natural.

The golden brown color of this one is wonderful and goes well against the glaze on the inside of the bowl. Simple yet wonderfully crafted, an amazing piece.

I love the delicate and unique shape of this bowl as well as the intricate patterns placed on the four sides. Wonderfully crafted and beautifully glazed, this is probably my favorite.

Warren Mackenzie
I like the rustic look of this piece. It looks like it has a story to tell with the ages it has seen. Unless it has been made to look old but actually is very new? That's the beauty of creation.

Bernard Leach
This piece radiates effort to me. I can sense that a lot of time and care was put into the art and shape of it. It's beautifully shaped and looks very clean.

Shoji Hamada
I enjoy the way that this bowl represents different first impressions. For me, I saw a resemblance to a lily pad, for others it's a mushroom or who knows all the images it conjures? It's pleasing to the eye and good for conversation.


Clary Lilian
This bowl is interesting in the way that it looks like a painting pallet. I imagined it being transformed from a pallet to a hard bowl, capturing the colors as they were.


Linda Christensen
I like the detail to the lip of this bowl and how the inside is a different color than the outside. It also appears to be shiny, as it metal has been poured over it. I would enjoy having this in my kitchen.

The feet on bowls, Jessica Lowry

This is a bowl by Shoji Harnada. This bowl has by far the best coloring, the dark brown lines coming out from the middle of the bowl almost look like vines or the dendrites of neurons. The foot on this bowl is much like the one on the bowl by Clary Illian, it is smaller and not very tall. Which for bowls that are more shallow that is god because then they are not top heavy.
This is the Shino bowl by Warren MacKenzie. This bowl is probably my favorite because I enjoy bowls that are deeper but also because of the almost diamond shape of it. The foot on this bowl is taller than that of the bowl by Clary Illian and fits the overall shape really well. I think with bowls that are deeper it is better to have a taller foot that way they sit up higher.
This is a bowl by Clary Illian. This bowl is very different from that of Bernard Leach in that it is more shallow and larger in diameter as well. And most noticeably the foot on this bowl is much smaller and does not elevate the bowl as high.
This is a bowl by Bernard leach. I picked this bowl because I enjoy the design along the outside of the bowl it adds some subtle texture. Also I liked that the base or the foot of the bowl is much smaller because it sets the bowl up higher almost like it is on a pedestal.

Bowls

This tea Bowl was made by Bernard Leach i like it because it is made with earthly c
olors and it is perfectly round and i love tea. i also love how the foot of the bowl is tiny and then widens out to be a good size bowl.

This bowl made by Shoji Hamada has a lot of texture to it. it

has a lot of design and unique to it i like how shallow it is and how the foot comes out to the bottom of the bowl

.

This Bowl made by Linda Christensen is very nice. i like how the inside and out side are differant colors i also really enjoy the rim and how it bumps and looks kind of like a flower. and the the foot of this bowl is small but not to narrow.

This Bowl made by Clary lllian is vary wide and colorful. i enjoy the pattern. also like the other

bowls the foot in curved in and then pulled out and pulled up.

This bowl was designed by Warren Mackenzie. i like the foot the the bowl the most it is wide and circular it is flat and sturdy i like how it comes out and then bends up to a perfect rim i also like the rustic look of it.

Samantha Simonson Feet on Bowls

 I really like the small foot on the bowl. It really makes the bowl seem bigger. I also like the texture on the bowl, the speckle glaze makes it look nice.

 On this piece I like the darker glaze that is on the foot of the bowl. I think it gives the bowl a more shadow underneath it.

 Again I like the darker glaze on the bottom of the foot of this bowl. But I also like how that dark detail of the glaze is brought into the rim of the bowl as well.

I like the bowls by Shoji Hamada because the use of the different glaze techniques. They are unique and different. I also like how the glaze looks like it is dripping down into the center of the bowl.

I like the texture on this bowl, I also like that the texture is also added onto the foot of the bowl. The unique shapes of the bowl is also really interesting to look at. I like that there is an old rust look to it as well.

Feet on Bowls

I Love the designs and colors on this bowl by Bernard Leach. My favorite glazes are the speckled ones and this cream speckled is especially cool. The white designs on the outside add a little bit of elegance and just make it more unique. As for the foot, it is small and exaggerated and I love the delicateness it adds to the bowl.







I am attracted to this Shoji Hamada bowl mostly because of the colors and unique glaze job. The rim is interesting and adds dimension because the top of the bowl is super wide compared to the foot which is very small. You could fit a lot of food in this bowl and not realize it because of it's shape.

I like how this Warren Mackenzie bowl has rectangular shapes all around it. It makes the bowl unique and interesting to look at. I also like the colors and the fact that it is orange on the inside with just a hint of orange on the outside. The small foot adds to the bowl and I love how it could possibly even serve as a cup.

 This bowl by Clary Illian is my favorite because of the rim mostly. I love the shape and I can only imagine how difficult it was to get it perfectly symmetrical. The color is interesting and I like how the foot is thicker than some of the other ones we have looked at. It seems more decorative than practical though.

This bowl by Linda Christensen is my second favorite because I love the colors, the shape of the rim and the foot, and the size of the bowl. I could just imagine myself sipping the broth of soup out of this bowl and not spilling it all over myself.

Layn Holman Cups

These types of cups are hands down my favorite cups. The way they are sectioned off in even patterns just makes my day. The colours he used appease my eye as does the lip. There is literally nothing I don't like about this cup. I would love to see how it feels in my hand because if it feels half as good as it looks it is #1cup winner of all time.

Simple, easy to looks at, easy to drink from, these cups have got it going on. I like the egg-ish shape and the colours are not distracting to the eye so the design of the cup gets full coverage. I think the lip could be more smooth because at current it looks wobbly and unpredictable.

For these cups they have a lot of texture and detail away from the functional part of the cup which I think is awesome. I like how it kinda looks like a flower and on the "petals" there are pictures of leafs. The handle looks a little small and lack luster for my paticular style and I think I would rather a handless version. The feet also look good, just a little extra detail to the whole cup.

These cups I like because of how simple they are. The lip looks good for drinking and the two colour scheme is very classy. The drawback is that they look like they have been warped due to some accident especially on the feet and plate.

This cup looks pretty good to me. I really love the shape of it and think it would be great to take a drink from. There are downsides to it though that prevent it from making it to my favorite cup. Those being the paint job and the small balls on the lip of the cup. The main flaw with the paint is the top portion, it goes from a earthy kind of feeling to spoons... As for the balls on top I feel they would get in the way of drinking so would rather them not be there.

Cups

 

I Love the colors and textures in this Jeff Oesterich cup. The colors are earthy and blend together well. The texture ages it and keeps it interesting. The foot makes it unique and possibly a little unstable. I would love to have this cup in my cupboard at home.

These cups by Victoria Chrisen are my absolute favorite. The shape is unique but still attractive and practical. The colors are subtle and calming and the artwork underneath the glaze makes them different. I love the handle, and I love how they are not all the same. If I had one of these it would most definitely be the cup I reach for every morning.

 I chose these cups by Bethany Benson mostly because of the bright colors and the interesting shape. These cups would be the kind that I would take out for a special dinner or celebration. They make me happy because they are so fun.

I chose these cups by Kristen Keiffer because I think they are just gorgeous. It is obvious that a lot of work goes into every cup and even though they are all similar styles and decorations, there is something unique about every one. Once again I love the earthy colors and the subtle designs. I love the detail in the handle and the teacup-like foot. These are probably my second favorite cups.

I enjoy these funky looking cups by Lisa Orr the most there are colorful and misshaped i like how the handles aren't smooth and neither is the bottom.

These cups done by Josh DeWeese are shaped to fit perfectly in your hand and they look like great cups to drink coffee or tea out of on a cold winters day they look like they were made with care and time. i really like the colors and design.

The thing i like the most about Victoria Christen's cups is that they are unique and creative. They look shiny and durable. i really enjoy the choice in color.

What i like the most about these cups that Emily Schroeder Willis made are they have a bumpy looking texture and the bottoms are curved in. I really like the colors and shape.
