Stan Bitters Bird Bath, 1970s USA

About the Item

Beautiful hanging bird bath by noted Californian ceramicist, Stan Bitters. Plastic cords are attached at three points on the dish and meet in a clay disk at the middle of the cords. Each plastic cord is adorned with a clay ball and a cast clay bird at each base. Bath has an inviting blue glazed interior where the water is held. Good condition as shown. Matching bird feeder available in separate listing. As a pioneer of the organic modernist craft movement in the 1960s, Bitters has been producing rough-hewn ceramic birdhouses, planters, pedestals, mural tiles, totems, boulder walls, and fountains for more than half a century. He has mesmerized architects, landscapers, and collectors from the start but was recently discovered by a hip new audience. Actress Cameron Diaz has a Bitters water wall at her beach house, and Commune commissioned him to create a group of two-story fireplaces that are focal points at the Ace Hotel.
