What a wonderful find!  :)
Any chance of seeing the underside, pretty please?

Thanks!
This one is an unusual construction isn't it? I'm sure they normally turn out with a sort of mosaic-like pattern of white "grouting" and blue interior "tiles". This is more stretched out into itself, giving a much more cloudy appearance and different colours on each side.

Found an example with a pic here. :)

:) I also had a bowl in that shape but with the blue crackle. I'll try and dig out a pic of that one to add.

edited - ah, I accidentally deleted hundreds of my pics a few months ago and that was one of them.
All I have left is a close up of the base - I've added it anyway so you can see how wide the crackle was on that one.  I think these look beautiful stood upright and lit from behind.
