Begonia shape? I see no flower but only a squarish bowl, what is this all about?
The begonia shape comes from the outline of the flower, the niches formed by overlapping of the petals are conceptualized. Gone are the details of the flower, the anther, the stigma and even the petals, what remains in the negative of the flower. The begonia shape is a popular decorative element and is not restricted to pottery, it expand also to the realm of architecture; doorways, windows, gillworks, pavings, etc.
