 Ox And The Big Dipper

I showed this image to Warren. He laughed and he told me a story:

He an Alix went out for a Sunday ride on their motorcycle while they were working with Leach at St. Ives. They stopped at a shop and saw the Charger above. It was just taken out and put on a shelf. Made by Hamada while he was at St. Ives. Warren said the foot was jagged because the Galena ran off the pot and stuck to the kiln shelf.


They were excited, but didn't have any money with them. They rode the motorcycle back to the pottery and told Bernard about the pot. Bernard remembered it and loaned them the money to buy it. They hurried back and someone else bought it while they were gone. Warren said to me, "I don't know why on earth we didn't ask to have it held for us."
