About This Ceramic Ball
This is a striking ceramic ball created by Babs Taylor at the Rivington Studio. The piece features a textured, mottled surface with a blend of cream and brown tones, creating a visually interesting and organic aesthetic. The form is spherical, showcasing Taylor’s skill in shaping clay, and the glaze application adds depth and character to the piece. This is a unique example of mid-century studio pottery, reflecting the artistic experimentation of the era.
