Beatrice Wood Signed Volcanic Lava Glaze Mid-Century Modern Studio Vase Vessel
About the Item
Beatrice Wood signed beautifully shaped, sumptuously glazed large volcanic earth-toned lava glazed Mid-Century Modern vase/ vessel - quite a statement piece by the famed American/ California Studio Pottery ceramist/artist. The work features a unique wonderfully textured volcanic lava glaze - one that we have not come across before so assume quite rare. Truly an amazing one-of-a-kind work by a master potter.
Signed with her customary "Beato" on the underside.
Would be an amazing addition to any collection of her work or a fabulous, eye-catching stand-alone piece in any setting, Mid-Century Modern or otherwise.
Know famously in the art world as "The Mama of Dada", Wood lived a long (1893-1998) and very fruitful, creative life and is considered by many experts and collectors alike to have been a centerpiece in the modern ceramic art movement of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. At one point in her career, Wood studied with master potters Otto and Gertrud Natzler and later became famed in her own right for her distinct luster-glazing techniques. In 1994, the Smithsonian Institution named Wood an "Esteemed American Artist".
Her other awards include:
1994 Governor’s Awards for the Arts (California)
1993 Recognition as A Role Model by Women in Film
1992 Gold Medal for Highest Achievement in Craftsmanship, American Craft Council
1988 Distinguished Service Award, Arizona State University
