Bowl
This bowl form was also used by Jervis when he worked at the Craven Art Pottery in East Liverpool, Ohio in 1905. It achieves its graceful shape from the application of the handles which split at the neck to form a Y-shape. The bowl is also distinctive in its soft blue mat glaze on the exterior and glossy green glaze on the interior. The Jervis Pottery was a small operation consisting primarily of its founder, William P. Jervis and one or two assistants, who produced useful yet decorative objects. For an example of Jervis's work while he was working at Rose Valley, Pennsylvania, see 1991.326.
