HAKEME KATAKUCHI

In a previous episode of THE TRIAL AND TRIBULATIONS OF CLAY, well my blog, I mentioned the last of a group of katakuchi that had to be fired and this is the results. Thrown and pushed oval(ish) I then applied hakeme white slip at the central area of both sides trying to create a sense of motion in the somewhat animated form. Most likely resulting from me being a creature of habit I went directly to my Oribe glaze and these are the results. The interior has some nice effects from the glaze which works its way into the very center. Now based on a previous conversation with a pottery aficionado is it possible to tell from this picture what hand made the spout, left or right?
