Hand Painted Glazed Walnut Covered Snack Bowl. Signed Bunny. Measures 4 1/2" in height by about 5 1/2" long. Excellent condition.
This unique handcrafted snack bowl is designed with realistic texturing to mimic the crinkled surface of a natural walnut shell. It features a rich, two-tone brown and golden-tan glaze that has been hand-applied to highlight the deep ridges and organic details of the "nut". The piece consists of a deep base and a matching fitted lid, making it a perfect functional vessel for serving mixed nuts, candies, or small treats during holiday gatherings.
The dish measures approximately 4.5 inches in height and 5.5 inches in length, offering a substantial presence on a coffee table or kitchen counter. It is signed "Bunny" on the bottom, indicating it was likely a personalized project completed in a ceramic hobby studio—a widespread artisanal trend in the 1970s and 1980s. The high-gloss finish not only protects the ceramic but also adds a reflective quality that enhances the "harvest" aesthetic of the piece. This whimsical dish is an ideal addition for collectors of figural pottery or those looking to add a touch of woodland charm to their autumn and winter tabletop service.
This item is vintage, approximately 40 to 50 years old. While the item appears to be in excellent condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
