Description: Plainware pot with lid, made of natural clay using coiled technique. About this Award: Works winning purchase awards become part of the museum's permanent collections. They are chosen for their technique and artistry as well as for the way in which they compare and contrast with other items in our collections. Jurors' Comments: This vessel has been beautifully executed: it has an appealing shape, lustrous finish due to fine polishing, and thin vessel walls. It is made with traditional materials and techniques, with an innovative interpretation of an old vessel form. The vessel lid, in the shape of a squash stem, is a wonderful "cap" to the vessel.
