Blue Rutile Over Sapphire Float by Linda Linder

Small bowl by Linda Linder Ceramics, Germany

This small bowl by Linda Linder Ceramics (Germany) features a rich and expressive glaze combination Blue Rutile Over Sapphire Float, that highlights the beauty of handcrafted ceramics. The surface showcases a dramatic blend of AMACO Sapphire Float, Blue Rutile, and Ancient Jasper, creating a deep, earthy palette full of natural movement and texture.

The bowl’s interior shines with layers of Sapphire Float and Blue Rutile, combining to produce cool, flowing blue tones with pockets of variation and crystal-like details. Along the rim, a generous touch of Ancient Jasper adds glowing golden browns and amber streaks that melt down into the bowl, forming a striking contrast with the blue base. The effect resembles tree bark, lava flow, or a forest canopy, giving the piece a raw, organic energy.

The slightly uneven, fluid rim enhances the handmade character, while the glossy finish catches the light and reveals intricate glaze interactions. Every angle shows something new.

This is a captivating piece of functional art—earthy, expressive, and full of visual depth.
