At the center of the back is incised “FREGATTEN” - which means frigate
handle measures 2 3/8" long x 1" wide
and those fantastic black dots that vary a bit in size from side to side and sometime come right up against the edges
the whole piece feels surrealistic--an unusual and compelling object and great addition to any collection of mid-century or contemporary ceramics
I’m truly in love with this one

While there is a bit of damage on the bottom edge, I think it's just a stunning thing that I think I would never tire
