decorated with points impressed by means of a wheel Explanation: This clearly refers to the background (fondo) all around the image focus figure. My suggestion is more than anything else an explanation, I'm afraid artistic terminology is not quite my forte! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2014-08-29 18:09:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I would risk a "a roller-printed point pattern". I assume the dots are painted rather than pressed-in. Only sort of reference I can find is here: http://www.plus-america.com/craft/deco_roller.html , this being a stamp roller, probably similar to the one used for your ceramic. |
