1970’s Sandpiper Grove 5 Light Candlebra Signed by Artist Mary Grabill

About the Item

This is a rare mid-century 5 arm Candlebra. By listed artist Mary Grabill. Terra-cotta with a white glaze. About the artist: In the mid-40's Mary turned the family's backyard chicken coup into a pottery studio called Graylor, where she learned to make uniquely earthy useful pottery. Some of the mugs are collector's items because of the folk sayings on them. In her pottery she used to go out and dig for "mud" from the land where she lived and painted images of local animals in the glazes, always feeling that connection with the Earth and ground. Then she moved to Martha's Vineyard where she studied and made pottery. In the 50's, after Martha's Vineyard, she opened "The Sign of the Sandpiper" in Coconut Grove, Florida near other art shops before the place was altered into up-scale multi-floor businesses. After Coconut Grove, she found a home on a pond where she continued to make pottery and where she fed the swans and turtles that would swim up to shore. She was generous to apprentices trading pottery for art. She taught lessons on the potter's wheel to many people young and old. She also loved her beloved pets. Mary was a woman who pursued her art and made a living through it that was highly unique. She leaves behind good friends and family, but also at least six decades of strong, functional, earthy pottery still part of countless East Coast homes.
