    I picked up this piece today and paid up to get it but loved the organic form. I can’t read the artist on the bottom. Anyone have a clue?

    Looks like Maria Rivas, maybe?

    I think it’s Kivas not Rivas

    I read Maria Rivas. Certainly appears to be a student piece.

    I see a “C” after the Maria. Do you think its value is low since it is potentially a student piece?

    I see it too. 2 in a circle. And yes. I think being a student work makes it much less appealing to collectors. Suits your decor though. Why don't you use and enjoy?

    68FC507C-CC7B-4BA6-AB79-C404C52117DE.jpeg see the circle in red. I unfortunately paid a lot for it thinking it was a very nice piece and at a minimum has decorative value that is above what I paid.

    It can be a learning curve. You can always ask before you purchase something, just indicate you are looking for information before purchasing.

    I thought that was just a feature of the clay. In what type of venture, did you find your piece?

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    Enlarge the signature.....pretty sure it’s a K in Kivas!
