Item Description

Emily Rossheim bowls are truly exquisite.  In her own words, Rossheim says, "My decorative vessels are studies in simplicity and grace of form, the juxtaposition of textures and colors which enliven each other and the luminosity of soft, non-reflective surfaces."

The sheer simplicity of her bowl forms, and their inner vibrancy, seem to echo Rossheim’s own life. She works in solitude in her private studio, yet is surrounded by a supportive community. The slow pace of life in her Vermont town suits her. “I’m meditative, inward-looking. I think my work reflects that. It’s spare. Every detail is taken care of. I really am a person who puts huge amounts of time into a piece. I like detail.”

The archetypal vessel is Emily Rossheim’s muse and the results of her efforts in the studio are truly inspiring. Her vessels are “studies in simplicity and grace of form, the juxtaposition of textures and colors, and the luminosity of soft non-reflective surfaces.” They will lift the spirits daily.

This Decorative Porcelain Vessel is sealed to protect from handling, but the surface remains porous and is not intended to hold hot liquids or foods.

It measures 5”x 8.5”and was donated by The Farmhouse Store in Westfield NJ http://thefarmhousestore.com/
