Unusual Hand-Painted Pottery Vase With Large Birds Mexican pottery with no apparent wear atI find this tall, textured black vase featuring two large, long necked birds (emu?) extremely intriguing. The expressive but subtly rendered brown, yellow and pinkish birds one on each side of the vase at first seem more like abstract passages than figurative forms, but then there they are, heads to the ground amidst green grass and pink flowers. With gold banding at rim and base, the whole piece feels surrealistic an unusual and compelling object and
