Lovely Zane Ware Arts and Crafts Pottery Bowl in Painterly Blue and Cream vases and then I believe gold

and then I believe gold foil on the cutout bit just above

I don't believe this mat is antique

The body and head are carved of one piece

making it easy to take aim at it from the back side

all the better should one have a tandem cycle to pedal

Lovely Zane Ware Arts and Crafts Pottery Bowl in Painterly Blue and Cream vases and then I believe goldI love the form of a bulb bowl, low and with gracefully rounded lip, but it is the painterly blue and cream glazing on this one that really makes it for me. Gorgeous, like the swirling sea and clouded sky at once. Stamped ZaneWare on the underside, it dates to the 1920s I believe, when Peters and Reed Pottery of Zanesville, Ohio changed their name to Zane Pottery Company. 6 5 8" d x 2" t. Excellent condition, no chips or cracks or stains.
