Made In North Carolina

We collect pottery from a well known pottery area just west of Pinehurst known as Seagrove.
This is a very small pot, about six inches high, with just a small handful of flowers. Every time I  use one of these handmade pieces, I have a new appreciation for all of the wonderful potters who love clay as much as I love paint.  They are very  talented and many of these pottery studios
 go back for several generations. This piece was made in 1991 by Gayline Williams.

This is a study for a larger painting and a taller stack of cups that I have already collected and tried as one of my setups.  I want to experiment a little bit with the arrangement and the final painting will be tall and narrow, probably 12" x  36".
