DescriptionAn organically shaped teapot decorated with distorted images of a woman with a deer. Two different images in semi-realism appear on each side of the pot. In one, her hand is around the deer’s neck, and the other the deer lays on the ground in the background landscape, and the woman’s hand is held up, with the back towards the deer. In both scenes, the woman’s face in in the foreground and takes up the majority of the composition.Copyright© Kurt Weiser
