Round Studio Pottery Bowl, Vase or Planter, Cream with Large Blue Spots Blinjoe Banka When I saw this MexicanThis is a terrific hand thrown studio pottery bowl glazed with a grayish cream slip and decorated with wonderful large roundish dark blue spots. I love the irregularity of the blue circles sometimes overlapping, other times widely spaced, and on one side some of the blue bleeds into the cream. This would make a great vase or planter really a lovely piece. It is signed on the bottom with what looks like "SJ" and is in great vintage condition. Note
