[QUOTE="tie.dye.cat, post: 428518, member: 152"]I told myself not to go into the Salvation Army yesterday when I was in town as now that my dad has passed away, I need to concentrate on trimming my stuff down, not expanding. I couldn't resist though; it seems like forever since I've been there. Anyway, this caught my eye on the way out. The signature looks the same as other Tony Evans' items online, and while I did find some of his items that were the same shape, alot of his stuff is completely different than this. It's roughly 6" high and 10" across. I can't capture it in pictures, but it has this really beautiful sheen to it - slightly coppery, slightly "oil slick on a rainy day when the sun peeks out". So what say ye all? If any one can throw out some other terms besides "brutalist", I'd appreciate it. Is this considered Raku? PS.
