Mini raku bowl, Music

Here is a small bowl ideal to give as a gift to a music lover. Use it at the table to put salt or spices, or as a decorative object to put small pieces like rings or earrings...

This piece is a creation of Marie-Christine Lété, a Montreal ceramist. Passionate about sculpture, she also produces small series of pieces made on the wheel and fired in raku. Mainly decorative, but also utilitarian, for the time of a meal, they are neither dishwasher nor microwave safe.
