1960s Glazed Ceramic Pot Attributed to John Follis for Architectural Pottery

About the Item

1960s Glazed Ceramic Pot Attributed to John Follis for Architectural Pottery. Executed in matte white glazed ceramic. A very clean and increasingly rare example highly reminiscent of the iconic designs of John Follis for Architectural Pottery, circa 1960s. Drilled; some hairline cracks, but piece is structurally sound and cracks do not compromise the integrity of the vessel. Unmarked. In 1950, Rita and Max Lawrence, along with design collaborators John Follis and Rex Goode, founded the Architectural Pottery company, transforming the landscape of ceramic design. The company rose to prominence when three of its minimalist planters were showcased in the Museum of Modern Art’s inaugural Good Design exhibition, alongside creations by Ray and Charles Eames, Alexander Girard, and George Nelson. Another similar, slightly larger planter, is available in a separate listing. Please note that this piece is from our personal collection and is currently being used by us as a planter; as a result, some additional age appropriate wear including water marks, mineral deposits and soiling are present. Some age appropriate patina, dings, scuffs and wear as largely shown and noted only for accuracy. Note hairline cracks and three drill holes as featured in the listing images. Pot is highly presentable and retains its structural integrity. Additional photos available upon request.
