Robert Maxwell for Pottery Craft USA Vase
About the Item
Striking modern slip-cast vase with overlapping circles motif was created by Robert Maxwell for Pottery Craft USA using his innovative glazing technique of abstract washes and layered browns and grays that became a signature look.
Robert Maxwell was a visionary ceramics designer and artist, with his most prolific period during the mid-20th century. He is probably best-known for the imaginative stoneware animal sculptures he produced in the 1960s, but his use of glazes and techniques should not be overlooked. In 1969 short-term collaboration between the artist and Pottery Craft company created a distinct, influential style of modern pottery, and his glazing techniques can be found on a variety of pieces such as vases and carafes, with his characteristic layering of geometric shapes in earth-tone hues. The abstract, graphic designs for Maxwell's designs for this series were characterized by use of large-scale overlapping geometric patterns and were influenced by the Bauhaus movement.
The vase is stamped with "Pottery Craft USA" near the bottom of the vase.

Douglas Ferguson for Pigeon Forge Crater Glaze Bud Vase, American Studio Pottery
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Vintage hand-thrown vase features complex Crater glaze in off-white and espresso brown colors. Minimal color palette and streamlined shape of the piece allow the textured glaze with variations from semi-matte to high gloss to take the spotlight; slightly asymmetrical rim adds hand-crafted, Organic Modern mood to the vase design.
The vase is personally signed by Douglas Ferguson on the bottom with his name and "Pigeon Forge Pottery Tenn".
The Crater glaze has become one of the most recognizable glazes made by the Pigeon Forge Pottery. Often commonly referred to as "Volcanic" or "Lava" glaze, the Crater glaze was developed and made in several colors. We are offering a vase and 4 more bowls in different shapes by Douglas Ferguson, done in variations of Crater glazes, in separate listings.
Douglas Ferguson (1912-1999) was an established Tennessee pottery artist; he received a degree in Art Design Studies from Mars Hill College and worked in the Ceramic Research Laboratory for the Tennessee Valley Authority in Norris, TN, from 1935 to 1947, where he experimented with local clays. In 1946 he started Pigeon Forge Pottery in an old tobacco barn with his wife Ruth and Ernest Wilson, his colleague at the Ceramic Research Laboratory. He formulated many of his own glazes, including crystalline and Crater glaze.
In 1957 he created the Clingman Dome tea set, named by Ferguson for the highest peak in the Great Smoky Mountains, which the state of Tennessee presented to Queen Elizabeth. Ferguson became a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild in 1948 and remained active until 1998, receiving Life Membership in 1991. He earned two awards from the Tennessee Arts and Crafts Festival in Nashville, received the Rotary Certificate of Distinguished Service, and was featured in books on Appalachian...
