This is a hand made statue.Perhaps it's better to give some information about "pottery making".
Pottery is a decorative or useful ware made of baked clay. Pottery includes valuable works of art, inexpensive dinnerware, vases, and other simple household items, all made by professional potters. The word pottery also refers to the factory that makes pottery. Pottery ware is part of a larger product group called ceramics that encompasses bricks, cement, sewer pipes, and other industrial products. Four steps are needed to make a pottery product: preparing the clay mixture, shaping the clay, decorating and glazing the item, and firing (baking). The firing temperature gives pottery its finished appearance and its strength.
There are three major pottery types: (1) earthenware, (2) stoneware, and (3) porcelain. Each type is distinguished by its clay mixture and the temperature at which it is baked or fired. Earthenware is a pottery clay mixture that is fired at a lower temperature. The low baking temperature allows the use of colorful glazes, but also yields a pottery that cracks and chips more easily than other types. Stoneware pottery is made of a heavier clay mixture that gives it greater strength. Stoneware is fired at a much higher temperature to give a harder finish. Porcelain is the purest and the most delicate type of pottery. It is formed from koalin, a fine white clay, that is mixed with controlled amounts of feldspar and flint and then fired at a low temperature.(http://42explore.com/pottery.htm)
These steps are carried out by my aunt, this is a wine bottle and it's made by her.:) |

Nice bottle, very artistic.
The bottle would better show if you had kept the background clean and the underground not reflecting. It is rather difficult to take pictures from artistic objects; you can just represent it as it is, or you can try to make the picture itself artistic as well.
Great challenge, but it is worth to try Gulsah.
Keep on trying; you will certainly have much plaisure with experimenting.
