Bowl c. 1770

This earthenware bowl, crafted by the Wedgwood Manufactory around 1770, demonstrates the company's skilled craftsmanship and commitment to classical aesthetics. The bowl's simple, elegant form, characterized by its smooth, rounded curves and a slightly flared rim, evokes a sense of timeless beauty. The subtle ribbing on the exterior adds a touch of texture and visual interest. This piece, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a fine example of the Wedgwood Manufactory's influence on the world of ceramics.
