This wonderful mint olla measures 6 inches by 4.3 inches and exhibits the classic characteristics of the scarce Showlow type. The motif shows two parrots each with a giant eye; the shoulder has numerous white squares each with a dot on the interior and the lip of the rim shows many black dots. The orange slip is bright, the black is bold and glazed and the white is like the enamel on a stove. This olla was in my collection between 1997 and 2002. . . we recently repurchased it as we do with so many of the items we sell. This is a true 10 and discerning of the collector which has to have the very best.
