Vtg FRED EVANGEL Stoneware Art Pottery Bowl w Handle Soup Interior Blue Swirl 5"

Dimensions: approximately 2.25" tall x 5" across (6" across with handle) Colors: bream, tan, brown, blue This straight-sided handcrafted art pottery bowl with a handle is unsigned but is vintage Fred Evangel. Interestingly, there's a very small mark on the edge of the bottom of the bowl--it's hard to decipher but may say "MB." It makes me wonder if an apprentice was working under Evangel and put a small mark on this bowl. The Fred Evangel label is worn but retains its upright rectangular shape, and the colors and style of the bowl, down to the shape of the handle and the swirl in the center of the interior base, are unmistakably Evangel. It's a lovely piece. The exterior is cream and brown with artful horizontal grooves and a dark brown rim dripping tan below. The interior features a lovely blue, brown and cream swirl on its base. The underside of this piece has been left raw but the rest of the bowl is finished in a glossy glaze. It's a solid, substantial art pottery piece, perfect for eating hot soup or simply for displaying for its beauty. There is a hole in the handle so that this bowl can be hung on a wall. This piece is in excellent vintage condition. I'm leaving the remant of the retangular label adhered behind the handle in case someone wants to use it as further evidence that this is a Fred Evangel piece, handcrafted in his Albuquerque, New Mexico studio, likely in the 1970s.
