About the Item

This early and important vase by Glidden Parker, an important American pioneer in ceramics for the modern home, dates from the 1940s and precedes the lines of homewares that he is most famous for. This piece, unique and striking, is bathed in black and rich, burnt sienna glazes, applied in an abstract manner that anticipates the Abstract Expressionist fine and decorative art that would come to dominate America in the decades to come. His stripped-down, geometric forms for tableware and decorative ware became widely popular in the 1940s and 1950s, influencing ceramic ware in America, Italy and across the world.

Clyde Burt Tall Ceramic Vase with Abstract Design
By Clyde Burt
Located in Dallas, TX
Born in Melrose, Ohio in 1922, Clyde Burt would go on to become a major voice in American studio ceramics. He studied at Fort Wayne Art School and later at the Cape Cod School of Art before landing at the Cranbrook Academy of Art to study under Maija Grotell. While Grotell is responsible for bringing the wheel to Cranbrook, Burt made it central to his practice and his thrown works express the same endless curiosity as his teacher. Upon returning to Ohio, Burt built a home studio on his family’s farmland near the Little Auglaize River and harvested rich clay from the surrounding area. He started every day at 5:30 in the morning and would work until he knew he “had enough”. Constantly experimenting with glazes, colors and surface decoration, Burt painstakingly recorded his successes and failures in a small notebook...
