  1. First, they made the pot by shaping it into that form. After they shaped it into the form, they used a sharp tool to carve out the shape/designs they want. I think it looks unique and has a semi-Aztec design.

  2. I think they could've done coils like us and smoothed them. Then, once they got it going, they shaped it. after that they carved designs into it. I think it is cool and kind of rustic looking.

  3. I think the pot was made by shaping it and building it with the very sharp and defined edges, and then using a tool to make the impressions covering the pot. I also think they let the clay dry extra so that some of the cracks would appear. I really lime the uniqueness of the pot and the patterns are very interesting.

  4. I think they used coils to build the clay pot up and then got a tool and drew out the design they wanted in the clay. I think it is cool how the top isn't flat and it sticks up in some places. It is a cool piece of art.

  5. This pot was probably made close to the same way that we are making our own pots, with coils and all, just whomever made it is much more skilled then us. They probably did the carvings with some sharp instrument once the pot was finished but before it hardened. Its a pretty cool pot with all the interesting carvings. I give it a solid 10 out of 10.

  6. I think that they used coils to build the pot. After smoothing it, I believe that they formed it into that shape. They probably carved the designs into it with a sharp utensil. I really like the shape of the pot and all the designs carved into it. The designs look very abstract to me

  7. I think they made it by coiling, like we are doing. Then after they shaped and smoothed it, they took a stamp of some sort and made all of the designs on it. I like it because of the designs, but it needs color.

  8. I think that they made the pot the same way we are making ours but made it larger than it needed to be, and when they were finished, they cut off part of the top to make it look like it does. I think the designs are detailed and unique.

  9. I think they started out with a circular base and coils. As they went up they gradually went out shaping it very carefully and methodically. The person who did this obviously knew what they wanted there pot to look like. Then after that they put in elaborate detail to give the pot a more unique style. I really like this pot! I think it would make a great center piece for any room!

  10. they probably started with a normal circular base and then started their coils as they built the pot up they made it wider and wider then they probably like cut out the lip of the top part to make it that shape on the top then used a pointy thing to make the designs... I think the pots pretty cool look nice with some flowers in it or something.

  12. I think they used the same method as us by coiling and smoothing. Then, they used a needle tool to carve in the design to give it texture. I think it is very unique, but it could use some color.

  13. This pot is really cool. I think that they used the same technique that we are using in class by coiling. The maker probably used a knife to make the designs going around the pot.

  14. This pot was probably made the same way we are making our pots. The designs are the pot were used with carving tools. It is a very beautiful detailed pot.

  15. This pot was probably made by coils, the same way we are making ours. And then a sharp tool was used to make all the designs in it. I like the look of the pot and think it is very unique.

  16. I think they created the pot really large, and then cut the corners off and spread the remaining corners off and squared them off. It possibly could have been a mistake turned into something good.

  17. I think the pot was made by the coil method we have been doing in class. Once it was at a certain height, I think the edges were scraped off into the pointy design that it has at the top. Before it was done drying, the design on the outside was pressed into it. I think that it was very well thought out and designed.

  18. I think that the pot was made from coils and some sort of tool was used to make the designs on the side of the pot

  19. i think it was made from coils and a press was used to make the designs on the side

    I think that the pot was made from a ceramic wheel and a press was used to make the designs on the side since the pots designs are very similar on the pot

  22. they used coils and SCORED THEN SLIPPED just like we are. they made it wider and wider as they went up and then once got to the top they used some kind of tool to cut out the top sides to make those little grooves. they then used some kind of sharp object to put the designs on it after they were done. it is a beautiful pot

  23. I think the person who made this pot used coils like we did, then smoothed it out and then either used a sharp needle tool to carve the designs or used a press of some sort. I like the designs on the pot.

  24. I think that they made the bottom part of the pot on a wheel and then started to use coils where the pot starts to bow out. Its a pretty neat design and I bet that took alot of time to make. They probably used a type of needle tool or a stamp to make all of the lines within it.

  26. I think they spun it on a wheel and then used stensils to make the designs. it looks exquisite.

  27. this pot is so symmetrical it seems like it was spun on a wheel, although it could have been made with coils. to make the patterns i think the artist probably took some sort of template and pressed it in

  28. I think the pot was made out of two different parts. One started with the bottm, and the other part wasnt added on until the bottom was finished. The bottom was proabably made out of coils, then had aztec designs carved in later, while the top was made just how it looks and was smoothed only on the inside. It looks very detialed and must have taken a while to do so

  29. I think the pot was made how we do it. I think the artist rolled the clay out and made the coils like we do and then smooth it out. Then they got utensils and carved it into the clay pot.

  30. made it with building up coils and smoothing it out and then carving the designs in it. I like the shape of the top

  31. I think the pot was made by using coils and then smoothing them out. They started out with a circular base an ended up with an almost square top. The designs on the outside were made with a sharp tool. The sculptor obviously thought through his designs ahead of time and the pot looks almost Aztec.

  32. i think it was made with a wheel. I like it because its very pretty and looks old with the type of engraving and becuase all of the cracks in it

  33. the pot looks as if the design was rolled on and then each side put together. I looks like it would have been made a long time ago

  34. I think it was spun on a wheel and once it got to the height. Then cut and shaped the top how it is. then the designs were made with a sculpting knife. also it's quite well done
