[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 9553183, member: 55"]No, not Inuit, but absolutely Northwest Coast Native form-line style. As mentioned in the other thread, it bears several similarities to the work of Canadian First Nations artist Judy Cranmer, Cree/Kwakwaka'wakw; but also some differences compared to her usual style. I also noted the sand-blasted appearance, though one might have to mask off the entire rest of the piece. But certainly possible, and maybe the most likely explanation for that appearance. Similarities to her work: the use of a dark brown glaze on part of the pot; good NW Coast Native form-line design on a wheel-thrown pot. Dissimilarities: the design being done in reverse, that is, inscribed or sandblasted onto the dark wash rather than a dark wash applied to otherwise unpainted areas. Usually Cranmer's wash in design areas is very light, lighter than the dark glossy wash that might be applied to some larger areas of her pots, and lighter than that seen in OP's pot. Judy Cranmer's work is almost always signed. My feeling is that it is not impossible that this is an anomalous work of Cranmer's, but also very possible that it is the work of another artist influenced by her. compare this one of Judy Cranmer's: [IMG]https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/cranmer-3a-jpg.455781/[/IMG][/QUOTE]
