<p>[QUOTE="antidiem, post: 6446037, member: 30"]I've not seen anything done like this in ceramic clay or porcelain before, but I can tell you how this appearance was made: the fabric pattern in the surface was achieved by rolling the wet clay vase onto the surface of the work table covered with duck cloth of some rougher sort or burlap of some finer sort. Then, a typical tapestry subject was rolled on with transfers and over painted on in the typical colors of tapestry yarns. There is a good amount of hand painting, but I think it's all done over a transfer. </p><p><br /></p><p>While these look to be very well marked, something about them seems off to me.
