We are going to talk a little bit about ovid shapes. These have a nice ovid shape to them
I have only 3 example to show you here and they are some extreme ovid jugs which came
out and they are very bell vise and they are small and have a cap that comes out from the
top of the jug. So we don't have a example to show you today but we do have these 3 very
nice examples of the ovid shape. This one here from West Troy this is a 4 gallon it
is a nice size and going down this would be this is unmarked I would say that it is close
to a 4 gallon to if you look at it compare to this one. It got a great design here with
a splash of cobalt, this is a really nice piece of pottery. The arms you could notice
the ears are little bit higher the on the ears here even though it's about the same
size it is just the different type of designs where you have inside impression on the top
of the ovid jug here. And here you can see a rib design that goes all the way in the
inside of the jug that is just another example. Here we have one more smaller example to show
you this is a 2 gallon and this is from Asheville mask with a nice spray of cobalt decoration
on it. This is you can see the difference between this pot and this pot the colors there
is a large variation on the color which tells you the clay pot probably came from a different
area.
