Myrton Purkiss Bowl


A wonderful Myrton Purkiss 8 1/2" wide studio pottery rimmed art bowl. Large rim of this amazing mid century modern bowl is decorated with abstract symbols or long leaves in black, green, white and brown. Main glaze color is yellow with heavy black speckle. Back of bowl has brown and white speckle. There are two holes on the back, so this could possibly be hung on the wall - the Purkiss pieces we've seen in museums are often displayed that way. Marked with "Purkiss" on the front rim, back rim and has a further sticker reading "Designed and made by M. Purkiss No Duplicates". Also a number sticker

In good vintage condition, with no cracks or chips. A bit of occasional crazing.

Measures about 8 1/2" wide, 1 3/4" tall.
