| Figure 26 Close-up view of a single cat’s-eye, immediately after falling as a tricolored droplet onto a dry surface. When applied to a fairly dry slip field, the moisture in the slip is quickly absorbed by the underlying clay body, fixing the decoration in place. A secondary cat’s-eye is visible in the center of the larger one. This is from the secondary droplet shown in fig. 24. Period cat’s-eye decorations all seem to have this characteristic as well. |
