The first group of ceramic pieces are sculptures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These last three pieces were the most intriguing for me. The lantern would make a good looking luminary.  The others have unorthodox shapes that likely represent a result of imagination and trial and error during the creation of the actual piece.

Out of the vessels and bowls I like the teapot, because it has a woven surface; the Tree plate is also a nice looking piece.
