Most viewed - The Potter's Art, 3/30/2006

Fleet of Fancy673 viewsSimilar to the previous, apparently by the same artist, but unique.

Hunting Scene668 viewsThis finely painted jug featured Turkish noblemen on horseback pursuing various wild animals.

Calligraphy664 viewsI greatly enjoy the elegant stylized Arabic script decorating these plates, although for all I know it may say something like "Death to Infidels" or "You are the illegitimate offspring of an unholy union between a donkey and a camel."

A Room Full of Tiles659 viewsA tour de force of beautiful and varied tilework.

Plate Close-up654 viewsOf the three plates on this shelf, my favorite combined a floral design with what appears to be a mishmash of Arabic script and Greek letters.

But where's my handle?650 viewsThe spout is attached; the next step will be to apply the handle.

Floral Tile Mosaic645 viewsOne of many such on display in the shop, each one beautiful and unique.

Tea Service644 views17 pieces, in a velvet-lined case.

Chuck and Elouise Mattox644 viewsBrowsing the wares in the pottery shop.

Here's my spout640 viewsThe potter applies the spout to the body of the teapot.

Turkish Coffeepot636 viewsComplex shape, decorated with a simple but effective floral motif.

Fanciful Fishes618 viewsFortunately my camera had a built-in flash; otherwise I wouldn't have been able to shoot legible pictures in the dimly lit shop.
