This handmade ceramic bowl is deep blue in colour and features a hand-painted design of a dandelion with its seeds being blown away by the wind. The words "POSITIVE THOUGHTS." are inscribed in a semi-circle on the inside rim of the bowl.
The bowl appears to be a multi-purpose item, potentially used for serving snacks, desserts, or dips, or even as a unique pet bowl or decorative trinket dish. Dandelions often symbolize hope, wishes, resilience, and new beginnings, which aligns with the positive message written on the bowl.
The number "12539" on the bottom of the bowl is likely an internal inventory or mold number used by the craftsperson or studio that created the piece, rather than a widely recognized manufacturer's mark.
Pottery marks are diverse; while some indicate a specific manufacturer or age, many handmade or studio pottery items use unique marks, signatures, or simple numbers for internal tracking or as a unique signature. The number doesn't appear to be a common, documented mark for a major commercial brand, as general searches only show that number as a general product or lot number in various unrelated contexts.
The bowl is in mint condition with no damages noted.
Height: 6 cm, Diameter of base: 12 cm, Diameter of rim: 16 cm
