Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece:
This is a nice and very unusual piece made in the studio of Lester Breininger, himself. A nice and well made piece worthy of a spot in your collection of contemporary redware.
Condition:
The bottle is in very good condition. It has no cracks, no repairs, no chips, no apparent crazing (although it is difficult to ascertain because of the coloring) and no hairlines. The bottle does have a few of the usual defects you would expect with all these primitive redware pieces such as pops, slubs, unglazed areas and uneven spots. However, these are original to the making and are difficult to see but can be felt. Regardless this is a beautiful piece in good shape and worthy of a spot in your collection. Please see photos to appreciate its beauty and for additional condition information.
