The bowl by Bernard Leach is a dark gray, ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl is positioned on a flat surface, with its opening facing upwards. The interior and exterior surfaces appear to be unglazed. A crack runs from the rim to the bottom of the bowl on one side. The bowl has a small foot at the bottom. The background is light-colored.
