"Bathers at Laguna Beach", Highly Rare Vase W/ Nude Male Figures, circa 1951-52

About the Item

A unique and striking example of the work of Pat and Covey Stewart in Laguna Beach, California, this vase depicts a group of three nude male figures bathing along the rocky coast, framed by trees and enjoying the shadowy cool of the ocean. Pat Stewart created a line of ceramic ware with his wife Covey in 1951 and 1952. They exhibited at the Laguna Beach Festival of the Arts and sold their ceramic wares to high-end gift shops and hotel shops across the nation. Pat Stewart, who did the decorating and glazing of "Bathers" pieces, liked to depict nude male figures along the rocky coast where they lived. This particular form is especially rare, and the velvety gray tones of the glazes he used create a deeply atmospheric scene. The main scene is signed, and the bottom is marked as well. Unusually for their work, this piece is given a production number -- 1-237.
