- Description
- A tall narrow vessle of circular shape which becomes wider at the bottom and curves slightly at the top to one side. The opening of the vessle is 3.5 cm from the vessle’s edge. This edge creates an overhang into the circular opening of the vessle which results in deep shadows. The inside is glazed lightly and is of the same colouring as the outside of the vessle. The predominant colour of the piece is the cream colour of the porcelain which is located in a solid form on the top half of the piece. The browns and greys of the clay are abundant at the bottom of the piece and wind their way up to just below the middle of the vessle. Here they begin mixing with the cream porcelain. Interspersed in the clay are small streaks of light blue porcelan. The top of the piece is circular with 2 small portions carved away resulting in one wave type formation and one indent wich runs in a line halfway down the piece. Along this line and off to one side is a narrow crack which runs through to the inside of the vessle and is filled with a grey material. The bottom of the piece is an uneven circular shape with a series of triangular gouges taken out of it. 3/4 of the way up the vessle in the predominately clay portion is a small white lip.
