Chunky Hand-thrown Stoneware Bowl in Best Soft Yellow Glaze, Signed RSR tan and red so densely packed with letters

so densely packed with letters pointing forward and backward in an arrangement that occasionally follows alphabetic logic but more often veers away from it

flipping up to reveal a repeat of the monogram design on the interior

which I'd guess date to the 1920s or 30s

and think one can never have too many

as if "automotive" wouldn't quite imply the rest

Chunky Hand-thrown Stoneware Bowl in Best Soft Yellow Glaze, Signed RSR tan and red so densely packed with lettersThis one I purchased from a favorite dealer in Cambridge, MA, for whom a yellow glazed pot is pushing the edges of a very minimalist aesthetic and palette but if there were ever an unfussy bowl it is this one, and the yellow glaze, softer and a bit paler than photos well convey, feels less like a color than like a feeling to drink in, and completely of the earth. Thick walled, chunky, not quite symmetrical, but perfect in its way. 6 3 8 d 2 3 8 t.
