Topic: Face it, it's a tankart

[Ivo]

Heavy item, 12 cm high (5") made in smoky glass and with a vacant look. The rim is cut off and properly polished; there is no pontil mark.

Where do I start looking?

It's got a nose like a koala's, (from the front image, not the profile. From the profile it looks like a characature of a person)
Kosta did some slightly "crude" looking faces on tableware things.
I'm not sure crude is the word I'm looking for but I can't think of the one I do need.
But maybe something somebody made for a friend?
The body appears to be very well made, the features may be supposed to represent an individual.

Primitive, Sue?

It's a scary looking thing!

[Ivo]

I agree it looks a little like the scarecrow in the wizzard of oz.

[chopin-liszt]

Primitive? Good word Anne, thanks!
This isn't a crude thing, Ivo, it's primitive. There is considerable skill involved, any ugliness is deliberate, as it is in the Kosta range.

reminds me of those pottery SylvaC face pots
