Chestnut Ogee bowl

I bought this piece of chestnut from a fellow turner (thanks, Chris) and immediately knew what I wanted to do with it. A simple ogee curve and no base or foot, just let the curve swing from rim to rim. The three ball-feet were cut from one of the corners - it was a square blank.
Overall size is just under 13" x 3", and it's finished with microcrystaline over cellulose.
I've a feeling that this is going to be a love-it-or-hate-it piece! The vustomers in the shop certainly like it...let's see what you all think.
C&C always welcome....Les

Les,
I think the Ogee is a little wide at the base, shortening the lip part of the ogee to more of a short reverse curve.
But I've no problem with the feet as a feature, we've seen them carved out of a deep rim, so why not added as inset ball feet.

I quite like it but the joint between the feet and the bowl looks a bit ragged to me.

Love the shape......not so keen on the feet, but that's just my lack of taste
