Also wonder if carvings are real calligraphy or made up just for decoration.</p><p>I guess the technique used is called sgraffito but any idea how exactly it was done?</p><p>The paste was covered with the cafe glaze on the exterior and the white on the interior, then carved and then fired?</p><p>Or it was fired to bisque, then covered with the brown and white glaze, carved and fired.</p><p>Or any other of the upper two but with a slip under the cafe glaze? </p><p>Some of the scratches are quite deep.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af273/kofalnik/baur/vazza/1_zpsed72f435.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af273/kofalnik/baur/vazza/3_zpsac26a5ba.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af273/kofalnik/baur/vazza/6_zps400daa1d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af273/kofalnik/baur/vazza/7_zps9abffba3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af273/kofalnik/baur/vazza/10_zps003d63f0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
