Mid-20th century American production pottery bowl, featuring a rich brown glaze pooling into deeper tones at the center and a warm honey-toned drip along the rim. The wide, shallow form is typical of everyday utilitarian stoneware made for kitchen and table use during the period. The base is stamped "Kathy Kale," a backstamp known to have been used as a trade name across multiple mid-century American pottery manufacturers rather than a single identified potter, making it an interesting piece for collectors researching mid-century production marks. Measures approximately 3.5" H x 10.5" diameter. Condition: Good vintage condition. Wear commensurate with age and use. Glaze is glossy and intact throughout with expected small pitting/specking from the firing process. No chips, cracks, or losses noted. Please review photos closely; we do our best to catch all flaws but small imperfections can be missed. Dimensions: H: 3.5", W: 10.5"
