Molds enable repeated reproduction of the same item, but the results are often quite different.
How the mold is used can result in either a clear or fuzzy impression. How the glaze is applied and fired also affects the final outcome.
Informed opinion would appreciate the clarity of the glaze.
Mr. and Mrs. Eli Lilly; given to the Indianapolis Museum of Art in 1947.
