<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 4507900, member: 76316&quot;]This should perhaps have been posted in Tribal Art...but I don&#039;t have confidence that it isn&#039;t more modern, more artisanal. Y&#039;all will be my guide about that...I have another similar vessel to post, when I find it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The height is ~12⅞&quot;, max body diameter ~9&quot;, spout length ~4¼&quot;, neck length ~7½&quot;, foot diameter ~5½&quot;. That foot is very slightly concave (3/16&quot;). The bulb at the top of the neck is ~2⅞&quot; diameter. The vessel is burnished overall, and without obvious glaze. It&#039;s fairly high-fired, as it rings when tapped with a fingernail. It seems to be quite thin-walled, which speaks to considerable skill in throwing, not to mention firing.</p><p><br /></p><p>The incised singular design (a bird?) is ~6&quot; wide &amp; ~3¾&quot; high, and is characterized by coloring that looks like intentional temperature alteration specific to its location. There&#039;s a name for that effect when it occurs naturally and randomly in a wood- or charcoal-fired kiln, but I don&#039;t know what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your wisdom is sought, and will be promptly acknowledged with praise!&nbsp; Thanks for lookin&#039;!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]395299[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395300[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395301[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395302[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395303[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395304[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395305[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395306[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
