Pinch Bottle
Clear and blue glazed pinch bottle with 15 pebbles attached to the side.
From exhibit label:
"Kim Ellington has recently constructed a modified groundhog kiln, with openings in the arch for side stoking along the upper end near the chimney. When this bottle was knocked over by one of the stokers, it picked up pieces of quartz from the floor, and the glaze ran in an unusual sideways fashion."
