In 1997, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Minnesota Crafts Council and in 1998 was honored with the Gold Medal from the American Crafts Council. His work is represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.; The National Folk Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan; the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England; Contemporary American Crafts Museum in New York; Bernard Leach Study Collection in Bath, England, the Minnesota Museum of American Art in St. Paul and the Weisman Art Museum and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minneapolis.

Warren MacKenzie Double Signed Monumental Studio Pottery Shino Glazed Bowl
By Warren MacKenzie
Located in Studio City, CA
An absolutely stunning work by 20th century master American and renowned Minnesota studio potter / artist Warren MacKenzie. Truly the best piece of his we have come across. This drop rim Shino glazed bowl is monumental in all aspects. Museum-quality is not a term we like to use often but this work certainly qualifies.
The bowl is double signed / stamped along the foot rim (perhaps the second stamp is his studio mark).
This work would clearly be the crown jewel of any Warren Mackenzie or modern pottery / ceramic collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting.
A student of both famed ceramic artists Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada, Mackenzie is credited with bringing the functional Japanese Mingei tradition and craft to the United States and spreading it through his own art and teaching mentorship during his long tenure at the University of Minnesota.
