1981.15.11Description
Salt-glaze millefiori. This lidded vessel has so much fun about it. This piece has this whimsical nature about it. The whole piece is fun and has themes of flying pigs swirling around a dark abstract night sky filled with yellow swirls and stars. They seem to be flying over a farm with bright green fields overlapping each other. A river runs through the fields and a brown fence holds in the pigs without wings in. The scene on the body of the container has this child-like whimsiness. There are rainbow flying pigs and this abstract implied scene of magical pigs on a farm. The lid of the vessel has a knob reminiscent to the pigs we see on the body of the container. The pig has a large grin, and its wings are glazed with an iridescent glossy layer. The lid also has the yellow stars, but they are 3-D and pop out. The texture of the vessel is a soft, porous feeling. The light bounces it and shows the bumps.Type of Sculpture
