Midcentury Sgraffito bowl in cream glaze with brown detailing

This lovely Sgraffito bowl was hand thrown by a potter in the midcentury.  Sgraffito is a technique where potters put a layer of glaze or slip on a piece of pottery, let it dry, then use a pottery carving tool to scratch at it to show the base layer of colour.  Scraffito derives from the Italian word meaning "to scratch".
