View MoreAbout
From George Ohr (1857-1918), arguably the greatest American ceramist of all time. A gorgeous bowl, with Ohr's characteristic manipulated, thin-walled construction. In its asymmetrically, its gestural method and its expressionism, this piece is a breathtakingly prescient clue to the future direction of art and design. I prefer Ohr's pieces to be bisque, as much of his work was actually first glazed in the 1960s, a half-century after his death. Unglazed pieces like this bowl, though, are not tainted by the possibility of being less than original. Incised in script to underside,"G.E. Ohr"
Provenance: Collection of Jan Cowles.
