\"Ardmore
This one-of-a-kind leopard vase<\/a> was created by sculptor Thabo Mbhele and painter Punch Shabalala<\/a> for Ardmore Design<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Five hours south of Johannesburg, in a remote corner of the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa, scores of artists are channeling Zulu artistic traditions and age-old skills to create intricately sculpted and vividly painted ceramic<\/a> works unlike any others in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An extraordinary 20-inch-tall leopard vase<\/a> from Ardmore Design<\/a>, the best-known of the local pottery studios and one that has achieved international renown, represents a pinnacle of achievement. \u201cIt\u2019s top of the line,\u201d says Ed Pascoe, of Miami\u2019s Pascoe Gallery<\/a>. A leading dealer in Ardmore and an expert in South African ceramics<\/a>, Pascoe is offering the vase on 1stDibs, along with other handcrafted works from the region. \u201cEach piece is unique,\u201d he says. \u201cThere are no molds and no duplicates.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The colorful vessel, made in 2012, represents about two months of work on the part of two revered artists: Thabo Mbhele, a sculptor, and Punch Shabalala<\/a>, a painter. \u201cIt was first thrown on a wheel to get the shape. Then Thabo hand-built the leopards and crocodile, shaped the leaves and rolled the leopards\u2019 tails,\u201d Pascoe says. After a firing took the piece to the bisque stage, Shabalala decorated it with bands of Zulu-inspired patterns and protea flowers and painted the animals naturalistically. Glazing and a final firing completed the labor-intensive process.<\/p>\n\n\n

Pascoe, a lifelong antiques dealer originally from Philadelphia, also happens to have a degree in political science with a concentration in Southern African studies from the University of Notre Dame. He has been traveling to South Africa since the late 1970s, when he co-owned Pascoe & Solomon, a Madison Avenue gallery specializing in English ceramics like Wedgwood<\/a> and Royal Doulton<\/a> in operation until 1984. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pascoe moved to Miami and opened his current gallery in 1987. At first, he bought English porcelain<\/a> and ceramics in South Africa for resale in the United States. With the end of apartheid, in 1994, \u201cthe country was booming,\u201d he says. \u201cI was meeting a lot of people and forming relationships. I discovered Ardmore and started exporting it to the U.S.\u201d Founded on a remote farm in 1985 by F\u00e9e Halsted, a white South African, Ardmore is widely collected and has collaborated with such luxury brands as Herm\u00e8s<\/a>, on scarves and other accessories<\/a>, and Cole & Sons, on lush wallcoverings. <\/p>\n\n\n

Pascoe eventually came to focus on ceramics produced in South Africa and representing the work of some 42 independent artisans creating pieces for companies including LoveArt Ceramics, Senzo Duma Ceramic Arts and Wiseman Ceramics, where Mbhele is now the head sculptor. \u201cThey\u2019re not employees of Pascoe Gallery,\u201d Pascoe clarifies. \u201cWe buy their art and represent it exclusively. I wouldn\u2019t call it philanthropic, but it\u2019s quite a responsibility. Each artist supports about 20 family members, and the direct benefit is big.\u201d Many artists have been able to build homes for their families with studios and electric kilns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vast majority of artists with whom Pascoe works have Zulu heritage, as do most of the ceramic artists in the region. \u201cThey have a rich history of textile<\/a> and pot making,\u201d he says. Every family has cattle, goats or sheep, which are traditionally tended by young boys, Pascoe explains. And while grazing the animals, they often amuse themselves by crafting tiny animal figures using clay soil from the riverbeds. That\u2019s why, Pascoe says, almost all ceramic sculptors are men, while women do most of the painting. \u201cFrom the time they\u2019re little boys, they know how to sculpt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pascoe still travels to South Africa at least once a year. \u201cWith technology, it\u2019s become very easy to see the work \u2014 we communicate all the time on Zoom and WhatsApp,\u201d he says. \u201cThe only downside is the power outages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
