<p>[QUOTE="northernridge, post: 10317, member: 215"]I have two pieces. One is a 7" wide-mouth vase that seems self-explanatory.</p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge088/LDS_zps0cb86d38.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>But (to begin with) I'm not sure what to call the other. It's a lidded jar (dresser?) measuring 4 1/2" diameter x 3" deep.</p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge090/LDSM1_zps189e4829.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>2nd question concerns condition. There's a little white spot in the blue part, below her neckline. But it's perfectly smooth, and seems consistent with the rather primitive style of this artist. So I'm thinking it's not a flaw.
