Jurors' Comments:
Traci: I think the polish is exceptional and the shape is pleasing. It's a simple piece, its beautiful. It's the simplicity that's the beauty of that piece.
Stuart: It's a very simple but elegant piece - speaks of home and the utilitarian aspect of pottery.
Elmer: (of the Runner Up - Olla Water Jar with Pueblo Scene) It says here that all pottery and figurative clay are eligible... I picked it because it has little tiny figures at the top, a pueblo scene, people in the village; the detail in putting the figures on the pot was outstanding.
