About the Item

Lana Wilson Ceramic " Artifact Teapot " Sculpture, California, c.1994 Artist Statement Artifacts like a tarnished copper yak butter teapot used in ceremonies in Bhutan or a Sambura wooden vessel from Kenya hold continually intrigue me. The rich surfaces interest me on these pieces but I am equally drawn by the human ritual in which these objects are used. Currently I am using the symbols hobos scratched out during the depression in the '30s to convey messages like "don't give up," or "food here if you work." I have made stamps using these symbols and then made more and yet more stamps. These form part of the teapots and vessels I make in which I try to convey a feeling of ritual use and artifact presence. - Virtual Ceramics Exhibit

Giacomo Onestini ceramic sculpture Italy 1970
By Giacomo Onestini
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Beautiful ceramic sculpture designed by Giacomo Onestini made in his own atelier in Italy in 1970. It has a combination of matte and shiny glazed surfaces. The back and sides of the sculpture have a textured surface with shades of gray, green, and sometimes turquoise. On the front, there's a carved-out section that's smooth and glazed with red and gold hues. It's a very appealing and intriguing piece. You can find the artist's signature, "Onestini," on the side of the sculpture. This piece was created in the artist's personal studio. Very nice large sized, heavy piece and in excellent condition. After graduating as a master ceramist, Onestini moved to San Marino where he found employment at the "Marmaca" ceramics factory. Around the end of the 1950s, he moved to Salerno and began working with the "Ernestine...
