My latest piece of ceramic art pottery is called "Satsuma Sanskrit Slip Trailing Bowl". This bowl is very thin and has a great ring to it when one taps it gently with a finger. I did this ceramic art pottery bowl with hand applied, high relief, slip trailing and impressed vintage Japanese text. In this work I have used the Japanese text solely as an artistic device to intensify the over all non western design of this bowl. While not actually based on any Asian style or design I have achieved what I feel to be a totally non western look. Giving the exterior of the bowl an archaic texture, I contrasted the interior by giving it a very smooth finish with a repetitive orange drip design over neon green. This piece is currently available at South Coast Antiques & Gallery, in Ocean Springs, MS
