Description

This beautiful, traditional slipware ceramic bowl originates from mid-20th-century Romania. Hand-thrown from rich red terracotta clay, the piece features a deep, flared circular silhouette with wide, robust rims—originally designed to give farmers a secure grip when carrying heavy liquids. Historically known as a "pancheon" or dairy bowl, it was traditionally used to separate cream from raw milk. The interior is decorated with a vibrant, fan-like radiating pattern, achieved through expert slip-trailing and combing to create an eye-catching marbled effect. Today, this stunning historical piece seamlessly complements the modern home, whether repurposed as a fruit-filled dining table centrepiece or a striking coffee table anchor. 

The dimensions are as follows: H: 7cm - W: 19cm - L: 19cm
