Beatrice Wood Signed Monumental Midcentury Queen Elizabeth Pottery Charger
About the Item
An extremely rare and wonderfully hand-painted monumentally large charger featuring a portrait of Queen Elizabeth - a quite unique and bold work by famed American/ California studio pottery ceramist Beatrice Wood. The portrait of the English Queen features Wood's unmistakable whimsical and playful touch and is richly colored and beautifully glazed (she used dollops of glaze to create texture in the queen's dress and throughout the work). Truly an amazing one-of-a-kind work by a master artist/potter. Very, very rare as we can only find one other example that she did on this subject matter.
Signed with her customary "Beato" on the underside and has her original price tag and inventory number still attached.
Would be an amazing addition to any collection of her work or a fabulous, eye-catching Stand-alone piece in any setting. Really, a must for lovers of her work.
Know famously in the art world as "The Mama of Dada", Wood lived a long (1893-1998) and very fruitful, creative life and is considered by many experts and collectors alike to have been a centerpiece in the modern ceramic art movement of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. At one point in her career, Wood studied with master potters Otto and Gertrud Natzler and later become famed in her own right for her distinct luster-glazing techniques. In 1994, the Smithsonian Institution named Wood an "Esteemed American Artist".
Her other awards include:
1994 Governor’s Awards for the Arts (California)
1993 Recognition as A Role Model by Women in Film
1992 Gold Medal for Highest Achievement in Craftsmanship, American Craft Council
