Matte Green Arts and Crafts Pottery Low Rounded Bulb Bowl vernacular photos and fun to play aroundThis bowl, because I can never leave behind a matte green vessel, and because this is one of my very favorite shapes, made I believe specifically as a planter for bulbs (this green with the white of narcissus is a pretty perfect thing), but which I also really like filled with rocks!
