    I'ma Like'a Dat!
    The small foot seems to suggest instability if used for serving or eating...but the colors, in an' out, are rich an' inviting. Those 4 comets are a real treat, Bosko...helluva wee dish!

    Very nice. Love the shape, it has a Japanese feel.
    Could be fish. I was thinking birds, maybe eagle heads.
    Or flying porcupines?:confused:

    Could be fish or birds.This is the washiest/lightest touch painting I've seen of her work-normally her MCM designs are very bold.
    Her father, Hungarian ceramists Géza Gorka (1894–1971) was also prominent.
    Coincidentally enough, there's also a Gorka Studio pottery in Prague that does modern tableware. The owners don't seem to be related to Geza or Livia (???).
    PS-The name's Livia Gorka not 'Gorka Livia' as I mistakenly wrote in the intro paragraph.
