Questions About Robert Maxwell Animal Sculptures
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024To identify Robert Maxwell pottery, search the bottom for a maker's mark. The American ceramicist incised his signature into the bases of many of his pieces. However, not all Robert Maxwell pottery is marked. As a result, you may also want to look at images of Maxwell's work to become familiar with his style. Maxwell was particularly well-known for using rutile glaze, which lent his pottery a speckled, mottled appearance. However, he experimented with other glazing techniques and even left some items unglazed. Because there is so much variation in his pottery, you may wish to have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer help you with the identification process.
