This beautiful piece was created by Japanese artist Hitomi Hosono in 2018, and acquired by Newfields in 2019. The artist is inspired by nature she sees in Japan and England, where she has a studio. The bowl, about 11 inches in diameter, is made of porcelain leaves that were all molded, carved, and arranged by hand. Hosono spent a month working on the bowl, which then had to dry for fourteen months before it could be fired.

Wowee! That's gorgeous, Speedway. Must be a bugger to keep clean, though.
My thought too, Dive. Must be one of the reasons its kept in a plexiglass box. I don't think I could scrape all my morning oatmeal from between the fronds.
Ew! Hahahaha!
