A crisp incised line at the shoulder and a raw, unglazed stoneware foot show the hand of a maker working comfortably in the wheel-thrown functional tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe piece is signed on the base, though the cursive incised mark is not fully legible. Given its glaze character, form, and known origin in New York's Finger Lakes region — home to generations of potters trained at or influenced by Alfred University — this bowl sits comfortably in the \"Alfred School\" lineage of American functional stoneware, alongside makers like Val Cushing who helped define the look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA wonderful complement to other Finger Lakes studio pottery, with the same warm, earthy glaze palette and confident, functional form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSigned, artist currently unidentified\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 5.5\" Dia x 3.5\" H\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent, pre-owned condition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DPS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54498389557558,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/5316\/6390\/files\/Photoroom_20260829_163304_3f295e0d-d842-4f22-ad11-f14c096e5d4c.png?v=1788306275","url":"https:\/\/www.dogandponyshow.com\/products\/hand-thrown-stoneware-bowl-signed-finger-lakes-ny-alfred-style-studio-pottery","provider":"Dog \u0026 Pony Show","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
