Know before you buy
This bowl is crafted from Ada clay, a signature material sourced from Oklahoma that gives Frankoma pottery its distinct weight, durability, and characteristic color variations.
The bowl is in excellent vintage condition with no chips or nicks. It does show minor surface blemishes consistent with gentle prior use, which is typical for authentic mid-century pottery.
The bowl measures 12.5 inches in length and 6.625 inches in width, making it a versatile size for a coffee table centerpiece or a decorative sideboard accent.
The Woodland Moss glaze is a dual-tone finish that blends mossy green and deep brown hues. Because of the hand-applied nature of Frankoma glazes, you can expect unique variations in the color depth and texture across the surface.
While it is a functional piece, it is primarily intended for decorative use. If you choose to use it for food, we recommend hand washing only to preserve the integrity of the vintage glaze.
