<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 11971587, member: 76316&quot;]The only place where the clay can be seen is near the signature, through 3 small chips where the apparent slip finish is missing. The interior is also covered entirely. Careful examination of the pattern, a near-hypnotic grid, shows evidence of being hand-inked; the red at the top an&#039; bottom is applied over the grid, and in the spirals they are applied as discrete dots, mostly circular as if perhaps stamped...but many are obviously less round and/or unevenly dense, not completely opaque. The black dots in the spirals are similarly round, carefully placed to cover the space within each square an&#039; not intrude into adjacent areas. The overall impression is of meticulous effort, repeated many hundreds of times...impressive, to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>The vase weighs 35 ounces, an&#039; is 13 1/2 inches high; major diameter is ~4 1/2 inches, mouth-rim is 1 3/4 inches outer diameter, the bottom is 3 inches diameter an&#039; very slightly concave. The signature is in pencil. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would have posted this in Tribal, but I&#039;m uncertain about it.</p><p>What can y&#039;all say?
