Why You'll Love It:
🌿 Timeless MCM Design: This long boat-shaped bowl embodies the sleek and experimental style of mid-century modern ceramics. The terracotta matte glaze features warm orange-red-brown tones, with hand-painted black lines that create a rustic wood-like texture. The pops of shiny glaze in blue, white, yellow, and green add a playful and artistic touch. Perfect for adding a splash of retro flair to any space!

🎨 Unique Glaze & Design: The bowl’s interior has a matte glaze finish, with a beautiful contrast between the warm tones and the abstract circular designs. The base (exterior) is finished in a smooth satin white, giving it a polished and sophisticated look. It rests elegantly on two small legs, with a slightly uneven height that adds to its artistic charm.

🧡 Rare Find: Not all Carstens pieces were marked! While many come with embossed logos, some had paper labels that were often lost over time. This piece is one of those rare unmarked treasures, making it a truly unique addition to any collection.
