    Jose Sosa - Large Water Jug w/ Handles - Peruvian Pottery Approx. 13" tall, approx. 8.5" wide. Signed and dated, this piece of art pottery is an incredible experience. How can a piece of art pottery be an experience? Through the information and history portal you are allowed to travel through, using this as your catalyst, expand past today and visit ancient methods of joining art and function. This particular piece shows the relationship of the master potter with the pottery created. The smaller jug, the version of this I first encountered, is more uniform, more compliant. This piece has the essence of independence and individuality that sets hand crafted and machine made items at very distant points on the emotional scale. To me, that is what artistic creation should do, become an expression of the artist at the time of creation. The complexion of this piece talks to me about hardship, pain, joy, and sacrifice. Look closely at the pictures and see how the landscape of this piece changes, like sand dunes in the wind, or the contours of the ocean floor. A freckle, a scar, a wandering piece of light, the smiles among the tears. This piece speaks, laughs, and weeps. This is more, much more, than clay! Visit Ten Thousand Villages to learn more about the culture, the people, and this particular master potter...Jose Sosa...his wife Rosita, his city (village) Chulucanas. HELLO! Enjoy Don
