This chile bowl has the most marvelous dark patina that developed over decades of use.  The exterior was slipped in Santo Domingo cream slip from the rim to the underside so there is no red bottom as seen in many bowls.  That makes this really special in my opinion.  The simple design was planned to allow the most cream slip to be exposed and the dark brown paint to be at a minimum. This is an exceptional bowl that could easily predate the 1940s.
