Fire Bowl

The image shows a ceramic bowl titled "Fire Bowl", created by artist Bernard Leach. The bowl is cylindrical with a wide mouth and short sides. The bowl's body is primarily white with a crackle pattern. The top third of the bowl's body is glazed a darker gray than the rest. The darker glaze does not cover the very top edge. The base of the bowl is slightly wider than the body. Three small bumps are on the outside lower body. The background is light gray.
