Chip and Dip/ Pasta Bowl sets


Three examples of Chip and Dip/Pasta Bowl sets.
The large bowls are approximately 3 ½" x 12" x 12" and the accessory bowls are 2" x 6".
The top right is in multiple green glaze and shows the opening of the curved, pedestaled foot as it appears sitting on the table with and the dip bowl in the center as it would traditionally be used. The lower left, in the honey gold glaze reveals the detail of the curved foot from the bottom and the hanging wire. The Hummingbird design is "painted" with pigmented clay slip and this view shows how the rims are altered from round with small indentations around the rim. Each comes with an accessory bowl, which is also a nice size for desserts. The upright inner curve of the big bowl is traditional for serving pasta.

This form is available in various glazes: cobalt blue, columbine brushwork, and other slip-work figures, such as Elk and Mountains and Aspen Leaves.
