....A beautiful, well documented piece of California Art Pottery, this large bowl was produced by the Homer Knowles Pottery Company... According to Lois Lehner in her mammoth work,  "In 1923, Homer Knowles of Knowles, Taylor and Knowles, completed a small plant with five kilns in Santa Clara and went bankrupt the same year"... This lovely example measures ~10 5/8" diameter, and rests ~2 5/8" tall, with all-about  scalloping... The  glaze coloring is a chartreuse with mossy brown mottling... While most of the marking is somewhat indistinct ( it's incised under glaze ), the large "KTK" and smaller "Calif." can be made out fairly clearly... There are absolutely no nicks, chips, cracks, hairlines or repairs to this piece, nor  is it crazed... At the underside are a couple small firing-stilt marks... ...A wonderful piece of quality, hand-thrown California Art Pottery from a legendary, if short-lived firm.....
