[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 70897, member: 45"]Studio pottery, hand built slab work, made from stoneware clay, fired in a gas kiln. Probably going to be hard to identify, even though it's signed, but probably doesn't matter that much, since it doesn't appear to be the work of a major, collectible, potter. This technique, of rolling leaves or flowers, or other natural materials on a slab of clay to imprint the image, was a popular style of pottery in the 1970s/1980s. The way it is signed is more indicative of studio pottery, as signatures on classroom projects are usually scratched into the clay with a pencil or biology probe. It also took considerable experience and skill to make these. Keeping slab work from collapsing or cracking apart is more difficult than it appears.[/QUOTE]
