Stoneware Bowl – Red and Green Dragon Sgraffito e Design

This wheel-thrown stoneware bowl was handmade by Kim Filiaggi and features an intricate red and green dragon illustrated with layered underglaze and detailed sgraffito work by Elizabeth Schowachert. The dragon’s coiled pose, expressive linework, and vibrant scales give the piece a dynamic, powerful presence. Each scale, claw, and facial detail is carved or painted by hand, creating a richly textured design that reveals more the longer you look.

A clear, food-safe glaze finishes the interior, while the exterior is kept clean and natural to highlight the craftsmanship of the form. This bowl is both functional and visually striking—an example of how thoughtful design and handmade craft can elevate everyday ceramics.
