Hello and Welcome..  :cheerleader:

That is different.  I wonder if that is what is referred to as *spaghetti* art pottery?  This is just a guess..  ???

Hello Rose, :rse:

Thank you for your reply! I am not sure what "Spaghetti" art is so I don't know if that is what it is... Do you know where I can find more information on that particular art?

Thank You! :sign_gj:

Blessed Be!  :tks:

Hi Lady Enigma

I will look around...

I just remember seeing something about it once.  Man we have a *full frontal* (of the vase....) and can you still show us the bottom (of the vase...) lol  :24:  Can you get a close up of their faces too? 

These guys/gals know lots more than me here....I just remember seeing something called that a long time ago...but will look around.

Here is a quick little example....

Please click here

And Here - A book about it

You might to see if your local library has (or can get) this book for you.

I am not sure if I am even on the right wave lenght here, but the hair on your vase reminds me of it.  After all, Art influences Art.  I think.. ;)

HI Rose,  :rse:

Thank you for your helpful info, and your right it does resemble Spaghetti Art. I also found an Artist named ELAINE OLIVER.... Anyone Familiar with her?? This is a sample of her work...

http://www.enoliver-pottery.com/images/IM000264.JPG

I could not find much info on her.  :hb: Her work looks very similar to the vase that I have.
To me it looks like a Sculpture of the Triple Goddess Aspect... Maiden, Mother, Crone. Or it could represent Child, Mother, Grandmother. Who Knows?
Thank you for all your help in this matter, It is much appreciated!  :gcheer:

Blessed Be!

Hi Lady Enigma

I found this site about Elaine Oliver....If we are going on the right lane as to the maker of yours...(hopefully)

http://www.chroniclenewspapers.com/articles/2007/09/26/news/news17.txt


Also found this (go down to *Virginia*-- then second paragraph to read about Elaine N. Oliver) to see her e-mail address..

** Can we get a frontal pix of your vase?
