Jeff Margolin Ceramic Pot w/Black Decoration
About the Item
Jeff Margolin is a self-taught artist who works with a porcelain-type clay that is thrown or sculpted into forms with areas left for carving. They have a hefty yet delicate appearance and are quite lite in weight. The sculpted neck gives a nice contrast to the glass smoothness of the pot’s body. He has said he looks to nature for inspiration, specifically leaves, rock formations and water erosion for distinctive design elements. The carved designs, which take most of his time, are drawn with a needle, carved out with blades, then cleaned with water and brush. When completely dry, the piece is sanded and burnished to a high sheen, then fired and smoked in a kiln. A semi-transparent pigment is applied to the carving for definition.
He has been influenced by H. R. Giger, M. C. Escher and Salvafor Dali, but Margolin’s work is unique and evident in each piece he creates … the forms, carvings and finishing style are his alone. His ceramics are low-fired clay that is smoked, unglazed and with a high burnish that creates the soft high gloss of the surface. They are intricate with the detailed incising and constructed elements.

- Claude Conover Ceramic Stoneware Vessel Signed "Comitan" Inscribed DecorationsBy Claude ConoverLocated in Bloomfield Hills, MISALE ONE WEEK ONLY "Comitan" is a stoneware vessel, 1980s, with a handsome elongated neck and full-body. The surface has a rich warm patina with cryptic scratches, stripes and hatchings marking the body. This gorgeous piece is a perfect example of Conover's best work. Claude Conover was a ceramic sculpture artist described as falling within the styles of American, Modern and Contemporary Design. In 1983 he won The Cleveland Arts Prize competition in the visual arts for his bold and unique ceramic pieces that reflect strength of form and endurance unusual in the field. Using his own clay stoneware and mostly monochromatic colors, Conover decorated the surfaces with cryptic scratches, stripes and hatchings. Although decorative in intent, the indecipherable incised lines on his ceramics suggest some prehistoric unreadable script. The resultant works evoke a timeless monumentality reminiscent of ancient vessels whose utilitarian purpose is now lost to us. Within this limited repertoire, he produced beautiful, eternal works of art. Although Conover’s large impressive pots are his best work, he also made other forms, such as bowls, lamps, and ceramic animal sculpture. Conover was born in Pittsburgh and educated at the Cleveland Institute of Art, where a number of prominent artists also attended: Brian Michael Bendis, Marc...Category
