This got compared to a butt, a
penis and testicles, and a
Rubenesque beauty with a scarf.
J.L. said, "reminds me of
somebody's young princess laden
with a backpack needing to go to
the bathrooom and wearing
snowpants. Makes me smile."
Potter's note: this looked eggplantish to me.
The textures fill spout was meant to be
leafish. In retrospect, I should have turned it
a quarter to show 3 lobes in the photo...

J.O. said, "I like how you
can follow the line from the
bottom of the pot to the top
of the spout on the back
side. It lookslikeit would fitr
well in my hand, I would be
drawn to pick it up." L.B.
said, "too much flare on the
business end of the spout".
S.C. would like to fondle
this one.
Potter's note: The base was a
thrown piece and I dropped it while
trimming the base. I used it anyway.

"Reminds me of a fish in
a cordouroy jacket".
L.B. said, "too much of
a straight line from the
spout, across the
funnel, over the top of
the handle. Give me
some visual motion
across the top of the
piece..."

R.F. said, "I like the
gesture of D. It looks like

heard something that
caught its attention."

belong".

This pot seemed to inspire
total ambivalence. Only 3

This was the most disliked pot,
mostlly because of the collapsed
looking bottom. J.L. says,
"nothing seems to go with
anything else".
Tripod forms are really hard
to photograph well.

What did I learn? H got
the most votes for top
three.
C was next, and E
and
G tied for third place.
I learned that a lot of
people disliked
I, with B
close behind in the "yucky"
category.
And I was told by grad
students that some of these
look like pot pipes. Yikes!
Thanks to all who voted!
This was useful and fun.
