Large pottery vessels always elicit favorable comments and admiration because of their scale.  Equally, small vessels receive favorable comments because of their diminutive scale.  

This small Hopi vessel contains all the magnificence of its larger brethren.  It has a rounded bottom that expands outward to mid-body, then upward and inward-sloping to a short, raised neck.  The design is restricted to the upper shoulder and is framed on its upper and lower ends with wide framing lines.  The five red triangles evoke a feeling of a star when viewed looking down from the top.
