Texture

The surface
of the
inside/outside
of the bowl is
smooth
which makes
it easy to
clean
The form
appears very
close to being
in radial
symmetry
The form is
dynamic
(curved)
which
displays the
principle of
movement.

The inside surface

shows only slight
undulations/lumps
but is serviceable.

There are
rough areas
on the
inside and,
or outside
surface.

The inside
wall is rather
lumpy and
might be
difficult to
clean.

The form is only

slightly out of
radial symmetry.

The form is
obviously out
of radial
symmetry.

The form is no
where near
circular.

The form displays

a slight curvature
from foot to rim.

The form is
basically a
straight
cylinder.

The form
appears to be
more of a teepee
shape.

The foot is
smooth
and
marked
with the
artists chop
or stained
signature.
The
detailed
surface
texture
consumes
at least half
of the outer
wall.

The foot may

show a few
lumps or is
stamped with a
barely
discernable
chop.

The foot or
wall is
incised
with the
artists
signature.

There is no
apparent
chop or
signature of
any kind in
the form.

The detailed
surface texture
covers more
than of the
outer wall.

There is a
decorative
band
apparent on
the form.

The artist
made a
minimal
attempt at a
surface
decoration.
