From the first moment I laid eyes on this piece, it reminded me of a piece of Native American art pottery. The shape is classic, not unlike an Indian ceramic vessel. But it is the mantle of glaze-painted “feathers,” draped around the shoulder of the piece, which leads me to my conclusion. Did North American indigenous design influence the West Germans? Is it just coincidence? Or am I just crazy?
