Vintage Studio Pottery Bowl by Chris (Christine) Hawks

If you're looking for unique, decorative yet functional items for your home, studio pottery is the way to go. Becoming more and more fashionable, these stand out pieces usually in muted, earthy tones would look lovely in any style home. 

Studio pottery is pottery made by professional and amateur artists or artisans working alone or in small groups, making unique items or short runs. Typically, all stages of manufacture are carried out by the artists themselves. 

This beautiful decorative bowl by Chris Hawks is sure to look great on any table setting or shelf. 

Christine Hawks (b.1931) is mostly known for her hand built pots, mostly coiled and pinched and for her medium to large strong sculptural shapes. She has been known by various names throughout her life and was once married to celebrated artist Percy Kelly. 

In general good condition with some small nibbles to the rim. Measures approximately 8cm tall and 21cm in diameter.
