almost slate-like clay

and they are really beautiful

but the spelling (and middle initial) are wrong

as if a champion rower looking askance at her lesser competitors

and those mustached profiles do look rather French to me

Matte Green Arts and Crafts Pottery Low Rounded Bulb Bowl vernacular photos almost slate-like clayThis bowl, because I can never leave behind a matte green vessel, and because this is one of my very favorite shapes, made I believe specifically as a planter for bulbs (this green with the white of narcissus is a pretty perfect thing), but which I also really like filled with rocks! This is an old one, 1920s or so I believe, with aye low clay bottom, I believe Zanesville. 5 7 8" in diameter x 2 1 8" t. Good condition, some staining to the interior
