This one-of-a-kind tea bowl by artist Ginny Marsh won Best in Show at the Kansas City Clay Guild Teabowl National competition in October 2023!

The unique bowl is inspired by wabi-sabi (finding beauty in imperfection). It has a mesmerizing gradient coloring morphing from yellow, red and green that uses an englobe glaze to create its distinct texture.
