The techniqe of how they made these decorative pots and vessiles is interesting. It was like working on a scratch board: you have a red clay pot and glaze it with a darker earth clay, before it sets entirely, you carve off the part you don't want in a subtractive method. Once finished, glaze and fire. Course this is simplified but it is likely on a large vessel that patches were sometimes used, even my the original artisans. The veneer of dark not being the same as the clay frequently flakes off and some restoration had been attempted. This side was far less damaged, not much was left on the backside.

The bell.... well it just hit me. But then we see shapes in clouds and faces on wallpaper that is only flowers.

Anyway thanks for the kind comments.

Have a nice day.
