Ron Nagle, Aquayama, 1978, 3 3/4"x5"x3 1/4"

Is Nagle's vessel a traditional vase or water pitcher? Or does it look like another type of "vessel"? How does the particular shape or slant of this piece effect us and how we view the work? Are texture or color important design elements? What do you expect to find on the inside of the piece? Does the name of this piece effect the viewing of it? Take note and visualize the actual size of the work.
