New Body for Aberrant Warthog Pot

I finished the Aberrant Warthog Pot back in February.  It's a sculpted warthog head on a tower of small clay cups.  I thought the cups were too primitive and also, they didn't fit together well and the tower seemed unstable.  I made a new pot for the sculpture.  The form is slightly less crude and the glaze came out very nice (although I missed a few spots on the inside).  The head still doesn't fit right.

The original pot consisting of (barely) nested cups on the left and the new pot on the right:
