1950s Organic Design Vase by Minnie Negoro Japanese Female Alfred Noguchi Jouve

About the Item

The stoneware has a satin warm grey over brown glaze. Incised to bottom, "COLLEGE of CERAMICS, alfred M. Negoro." The piece is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. Has imperfection under glaze/or in glaze on the top on rim, but not rough to touch. MINNIE NEGORO (Japanese/American, 1919-1998) was born in California, but because of her Japanese heritage, she was interned during WW2 at a labor camp in Wyoming. During that time she met Daniel Rhodes, a graduate of the College of Ceramics in Alfred, NY. He was employed by the US government to established a tableware factory for the US troops. There he introduced her to ceramics and encouraged her to go to Alfred where she earned her masters degree in 1950. Negoro was a professor of ceramics at the University of Connecticut from 1965-1989.
