Kati Va'Mos (Vamos)

Picked up at the boot sale at the weekend. For a heart stopping moment, as my arm stretched out towards it, I thought "Strewth, Gabriele Koch, here at my boot sale!"
Strewth turned out to be by a now deceased lady called Kati Va'Mos who worked down in the south-west, although was originally from Budapest.
It is a beautifully crafted pot, unglazed but burnished to a high sheen and fired and smoked. Inspired by Pueblo Indian work apparently. Nicely done Kati..............

I like that Steve, lovely find : )

It's a beautiful shape.

Via Westcountry Art, 2011:

Kati was born and lived until her early twenties in Budapest, Hungary, before moving to England in 1965.
About 20 years ago her dream of eventually becoming a professional ceramicist came true.
She studied at the Universities of Tulane and Santa Barbara, USA. While in America Kati studied many examples of Pueblo Indian pottery. This became a fundamental inspiration for her own work.
