Desert Sands Pottery Mission Swirl Small Bowl — Blue and Red
A beautiful little piece of American art pottery history, this small bowl was made by Desert Sands Pottery (1946–1975) — founded by the Evans family and renowned for its vibrant, hand-applied "mission swirl" technique.
Produced first in Boulder City, Nevada, then later in Barstow, California, Desert Sands pieces are a highly collectible slice of mid-century Southwestern tourist culture. No two swirl pieces are exactly alike, making each one a one-of-a-kind find.
