This one-of-a-kind red and black stoneware serving bowl is by artist Ginny Marsh. Inspired by the artistic aesthetic of wabi-sabi, finding beauty in imperfection, Ginny's inspiration for this bowl is two different types of lava: jet-black obsidian for the highly polished interior, and volcanic, spongy, and iron-enriched pumice lava for the serving bowl's exterior. An art piece for display, or for serving a colorful salad!
