The underside of the bowl is decorated with concentric bands and the foot bears artist signature marks and is dated 1971. The bowl is also marked with a title ‘ded.Rhoda’ with a description of the glazes used. Provenance: from the collection of a private gentleman and originating from the UK art market.
