Evocative Old Elephant Shaped Mold! soft green no really matter

no really matter

CA potter (1916-1991) who created this gorgeous lilttle vase

I'd love to see this one put to good use

which naturally tilts a bit upward

which I return again and again as a marvelous tool for observing and thinking about my surroundings

Evocative Old Elephant Shaped Mold! soft green no really matterI'm not great at visualizing how molds would have been used, but definitely this produced some sort of elephant! Great from both sides, with this wonderful play of screws and bolts and holes and outlines, and then this putty, now hard, masking out the face. Really a curious, wonderfully strange looking thing! 7" l x 6" t x 1" d, with a super patina of age and use.
