Ginkgo Leaf Bowl
A beautiful celebration of nature, transformed by hand into a distinctive piece of ceramic art.

Created by Long Island artist Jan Barrett, this extraordinary one-of-a-kind bowl is composed of dozens of individually formed and detailed ginkgo leaves, carefully arranged and layered together to create an open, sculptural design.

The graceful fan shape of the ginkgo leaf gives this piece its unmistakable character. Each leaf features delicate hand-worked lines and texture, while the overlapping arrangement creates wonderful depth, movement, and open spaces throughout the bowl. The result is a piece that feels organic and almost alive, changing in appearance depending on the angle from which it is viewed.

A beautiful combination of rich greens, warm earth tones, bronze, and touches of brown enhances the natural character of the leaves. The glaze settles into the hand-detailed veins and edges, emphasizing the texture and allowing subtle variations of color to emerge across the surface.

The gently rising sides create a graceful bowl form while preserving the openwork quality of the individual leaves. Even the exterior continues the ginkgo pattern, making this a piece that is beautiful from every angle.

The ginkgo has long been admired for its distinctive beauty and is often associated with longevity, endurance, hope, and resilience, adding another layer of meaning to this nature-inspired creation.

Because of its intricate open design, this piece is especially well suited as a decorative centerpiece or display bowl. Place it on a dining table, coffee table, console, shelf, or display stand where its remarkable craftsmanship can be appreciated.

Every leaf has been individually formed, textured, arranged, glazed, and kiln-fired by hand. There is only one exactly like it.
