Lucille Oka Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I just had to share this; it is an odd little thing. And as always do not use screen shots. I saw this and as always I try to figure it out before I check the captions or notes. I couldn't figure it out either. To me it looked like just a lump of glazed clay. I will give you one view now and another later. Here is the second image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to have a nautical theme to it, but I grew up and live in Kansas so I don't have much experience with water and what little we had is rapidly drying up.

SShirley Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Maybe an ocarina or whistle? I just had to share this; it is an odd little thing. And as always do not use screen shots.

Lucille Oka Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I have added an additional image of the vessel. It was difficult to do for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho Potter Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Looks like a soap dish with an undersea theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Looks like a soap dish with an undersea theme. Dear All, But there is that definite hole or created opening on the right side suggestive of use for either drawing something up into the vessel or blowing something out??

Marcia Selsor Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Wow...love that color in the second photo. It is looking like a soap dish with drains. when will you tell us??? Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Wow...love that color in the second photo. It is looking like a soap dish with drains. when will you tell us??? Marcia I agree, it is a very pretty color. Still have no idea. The holes are strong onto compared to those on the sides suggestive of something dripping through these openings. What could it be??

Lucille Oka Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I hope this goes through I am posting this from my phone. The vessel is an ink well. I will try to post another ink well tomorrow when I get to my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
