This striking sculptural bowl is a masterful piece of vintage studio pottery, hand-crafted and signed by artist Martha Player in 1971. The piece features a high-relief, wrap-around design of lush grape leaves and clusters of grapes, creating a dynamic, organic silhouette.

The exterior is finished in a delicate matte glaze with a beautiful gradient of moss green and dusty rose, highlighting the intricate veining of the leaves and the texture of the fruit. In sharp, sophisticated contrast, the interior is finished in a deep, high-gloss obsidian black, which peeks through the gaps in the sculptural foliage. The base is clearly incised with the artist's signature and the date, ensuring its provenance as an authentic 1970s art piece.
