<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 93832, member: 45&quot;]I think it would be good to put emphasis on&nbsp;&nbsp; the texture of the glaze, and how unusual it is on a snuff bottle.&nbsp; Sometimes that&#039;s what pottery collectors are looking for, the imperfections that are an indication of the human element involved in handmade items.&nbsp; It&#039;s certainly true that comparatively few survive, since most functional potters discarded their &quot;mistakes.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn&#039;t use &quot;oxblood,&quot; since that is a specific type of high-fire glaze, that produces a glossy red (sometimes with hints of purple) over a white clay body.&nbsp; Collectors searching for &quot;oxblood&quot; would be disappointed if this showed up in their search.&nbsp; Something more on the line of &quot;earthy rust colors&quot; would probably be more likely to attract the right bidders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
