This charming porcelain bowl is an early piece by renowned Western Australian ceramic artist Sandra Black, known for her refined forms and exceptional control of porcelain. Dated 1982, it represents her formative period, when she was developing marbled surface techniques and pierced motifs.
The bowl features soft blue marbled patterning swirling through the porcelain body, contrasted by a beautifully executed cut‑out bird motif at the rim — a playful, airy detail that showcases Black’s precision and lightness of touch. Despite its delicate appearance, the form is well‑balanced and finely crafted.
Signed and dated to the base, this is a lovely example of early WA studio porcelain and a collectible piece for admirers of Australian contemporary ceramics.
