Harumi Ota bowl

I found this wonderful example of Harumi Ota's work in a gallery. It was summertime and I was hosting a dinner party the following evening.
 I knew this bowl would elevate the simple salad that I planned to serve.

Humble Bungalow Tomato Salad
yellow and red fresh organic cherry tomatoes
fresh basil leaves
crumbled feta cheese
Greek olives
several tablespoons of aged balsamic vinegar
small sprinkling of sea salt
