    How delightful to have a piece of modern studio pottery we can ID ! It's wild & interesting Johnny.Jeri does some really interesting stuff,prob the only real challenge she's got marketing-wise($) is she's all over the map stylistically.I can relate,we get bored.
    Like the title-'Small Clutch',that'd be quite a weapon at an Estate Sale.

    FUN! I would use it for napkins or candies. I too love to come home with monstrosities!

    Why not.:joyful:
    I wouldn't buy this, but I do buy the strangest things, so I can relate.;)
    I like the title, an artist with a sense of humour, we need more of those.:)

    It's absolutely hideous. It's as if the artist has gone out of their way to offend us. :arghh:

    LOL ! I love the responses ! Art is meant to incite opinions ,so this thing does ! My taste certainly qualify as 'eclectic' !

    Did anyone else take one look and think "takeoff on a sad iron"?
