Description: Otto Keramik definitely did numerous variations on bottle and jug forms, especially jugs, so this shape is not difficult to find. However, as with most Otto forms, the proportions are good, making a simple form surprisingly attractive. The glaze is easy to overlook simply because it's gray, but don't be fooled by that. It's a quietly complex, enjoyable glaze, as with many of the often uncommon, currently lesser known Otto glazes. As with many Otto glazes, the "decoration" includes glaze "fissures". As a side note, some of the West German pottery "jug" forms appear to be based on ancient Greek pottery, as are some other shapes, but just why they were so fond of such shapes remains unclear. Dimensions: Height about 6". Condition: excellent with no damage and no repairs. Of course, all our sales are fully guaranteed. Price: $85 plus

Sure, an automated checkout might be easier, but we actually like to talk with people and get to know our customers a little. That may seem weird these days, but there's more than one reason why "odd" is part of our name. Checks or money orders should be made "Forrest OR Virginia Poston". We also take Paypal (including credit card payments). We try to ship in one or two days after payment arrives, and we're generous with the bubblewrap and styrofoam peanuts. If there's something you'd like us to find for you, let us know. We're just itching to please you, or maybe that was poison ivy we got into. |
