Description

The imagery of floating feathers and brightly colored flies, layered over a backdrop of delicate, swirling lines, asserts a lightness that defies the simple, ponderous form of this conoid pot. The shifting color effect of the iridescent luster glaze supports the symbolism of spiritual transformation connoted by the aerial motifs. Marks: painted artist's name, Golfe-Juan, AM
