“Bowl No. 5” by Joanna Roszkowska is a captivating ceramic sculpture that merges raw texture with organic form.
Hand-built in stoneware clay and fired using a reduction technique, this piece combines glossy, carved elements with matte, burnt surfaces. Its dramatic contrasts evoke volcanic landscapes or eroded natural formations. Though reminiscent of a vessel, it is a sculptural object in its own right — contemplative and bold.
A part of Roszkowska’s ongoing series of “bowls,” this work explores transformation through fire and material tension. Perfect as a centerpiece or an independent work of art.
