<p>[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 10384484, member: 16407"]Age is key. Famous names, of course. And the fineness of the piece: is the shape symmetrical, graceful, and traditional (or experimental). Is the painting fine, balanced, steady, and evenly distributed? Painting on a curved surface is hard! Sometimes pieces have 3, sometimes 4, sections rotating around the pot. Is each one spaced evenly and painted the same as the others? In the case of Acoma pots, they're famously thin. How thin is it and is it uniform throughout? These are all signs of a great one vs good ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
