Superior, investment quality, estate fresh vase and guaranteed original Ohr. George Ohr, the self-proclaimed "Mad Potter of Biloxi," was a ceramic artist who lived and worked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Ohr's work is characterized by its eccentricity and irregularity. Ohr was born in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1857. He began his career as a potter in the 1880s, working in the traditional Southern style of salt-glazed stoneware. However, Ohr was not content to stick to convention, and he began to experiment with clay and glaze techniques. This led to the development of his signature style, which was often called "modernist" or "abstract." Ohr's work was not well-received by his contemporaries. In fact, he was often ridiculed for his unconventional approach to pottery. However, Ohr continued to produce his unique ceramics, and today his work is highly sought after by collectors.

    By George Ohr
    Located in Studio City, CA
    A wonderfully designed and beautifully glazed vase by renowned American / Mississippian master potter George E. Ohr. ( or as he famously referred to himself as the "Mad Potter of Biloxi") The work features a gorgeous mottled green spinach high glaze with a myriad of colors and tones including browns, tans, and yellows. Very striking. George Ohr (July 12, 1857 – April 7, 1918) is widely considered to be America's first art potter. Many art historians believe Ohr was a precursor to the American Abstract-Expressionism movement due to his innovative experimentation with modern clay forms. Ohr's works are featured in many prominent collections and museums both domestically and abroad. From 2007 to 2010 Ohr Rising: The Emergence of an American Master, a major national exhibition of Ohr pottery...
