This piece of clay is about drawing on/ in clay. At the time, I was using gouged lines in other pieces, thus in my mind, I thought that drawing should be done this way. The lines were glazed and so was the surrounding clay. Even though it has a tight control to the line, there's something lyrical or Oriental about it in my mind. It's about 14 inches tall. The black glaze 'spits' ( spots on white ). I don't particularly like this piece except for what it taught me.... and that makes it worthy. I've since learned other ways to draw on/ in clay.
