I really like this slab plate because of the intricate designs that they created on it. I especially like the design on the right of the plate because they probably did it by hand from the looks of it.

Slab Plate
Slab Plate
These slab constructions were created using a slab roller. The designs were then etched or stamped onto the surface. I admire the use of two different surfaces for the interior and exterior of each bowl, and the imprinted design that had to be made with a stamp in order to be so identical each time it was used.
Slab Pottery
I'm not quite sure where this slab pot came from, but I think that it is old rather than new. I like it because of the design that it has, it kind of reminds me of baseball seems, so it looks like something that I could do on a smaller scale.

Slab
I like this slab pot because of its colors and its construction. It just looks like basically one slab of clay shaped into a pot design.

Slab pottery
This is a pot that is from the ancient Mayan culture. The reason I like this pot is because of its simplicity. It looks like a very easy pot to make, but at the same time it is appealing to look at. - Trevor Carlyle

This coil pot inspires me because I really like the design and also because it has the same shape as my coil pot. I really like the symmetry and colors that the artist has used in this design. For my pot, I also plan to use symmetry.

Coil Pot
This pot inspires me because it is very unique and, when you think about it, very difficult to construct. I like how the design is not just coils that are parallel to the other coils and also how there are two sections of the design. This pot is from http://www.mojavemountainpottery.com/coilpot.html.

Inspiring Coil Pot Design
This is a coil pot made with four necks with the coils showing. Incorporating more than one neck seems like a very interesting idea, but probably not very stable. I would like to try and do something with maybe two necks instead.

I thought this coil pot was interesting because of its design. I might use this design for my coil pot. Random lines were carved out and then filled in with glaze.- Trevor Carlyle

African Coil Pottery
The Baule People live in the central Ivory Coast and are known for their artwork. Baule pottery was traditionally made by women because women usually used them as utility wares, meaning they can be used for many different things, such as the way that we can use a cup in many different ways. This particular piece carried water based on its gourd shape and flared top, something you still see today. There is a design around the bottom of the neck that looks something like boats sailing on an ocean, almost Hawaiian-like. It could also have been used for ritual purposes, like we baptise people.

This is a coil pot and it was finished smoothly and does not have any designs on it. It is from the Republic of the Congo and was made in between the years of 1900 and 1920. It is a Kwele vessel and was probably used to hold water.

Coil pot

This is a 19-20th century coil pot. It was made by the kwele peoples, from the Republic of the Congo. The pot is called a kwele vessel which was probably used to carry water. The pot was ment to look like a gourd. A gourd is a drinking container made from the shell of a cabaca fruit. I chose this pot because of its unique shape.

Chinese Coil Pot
This Chinese coil storage jar was sculpted during China's Neolithic Period, 3rd to 2nd millennium BCE. It originated from Yangshou culture, a heritage known for its prolific and remarkable pottery. The embellishment was painted with black and red slip over brown clay, which is characteristic of Yangshou culture. The design is composed of "swirling curvilinear patterns decorating the upper half of the jar" and "serrations along the edges of the lines".

The gourd-shaped wine pot (right) is covered in a scaly motif that increases in size the closer it is to the base of the pot. The pot was sculpted during Korea's Koryo Period, 918-1392. The design appeals to me because it is perfectly suited for embellishing a spherical ceramic sculpture. Since the scales are not rectangular, they do not conflict with the bulbous shape of the pot.

This African Zulu Pinch Pot was used for serving beer which was a key component to Zulu hospitality. This repeat motif has an impressed design of different triangles all around the pot. You can make your design by impressing into the clay or by painting it onto the surface, the clay must be very smooth for this process to work. After this process is done the sculpter painted on three differant colors to give the pot a very tribal feel.
