The four cobalt lined vertical panels recall vertical Japanese woodblock prints and the gold tracery and rim is surprisingly present with only modest wear to the high points and minor bleed through of the under-glaze around the lip.

Many amateur ladies and gentlemen, particularly members of the Cincinnati Pottery...
