Post-modern Wolf Dog Mug, Cunningham Pottery, Handmade Iowa 1991

About the Item

Crafted with a post-modern sensibility, this American Studio Pottery mug is the creation of Steve and Miky Cunningham, made by hand in their Iowa workshop in 1991. The piece is a study in the fusion of function and whimsy, as utilitarian form meets the imaginative spirit of its creators. The mug, with its cylindrical body, is rendered in a slate blue glaze, accented with a recurring motif of white, elongated droplets that add a tactile element. This textural patterning complements the bold silhouette of a wolf that forms the mug's handle, a creative homage to the iconic dog motifs by artist Keith Haring. The sculptural and substantial size of the offers a comfortable grip. A hand-applied signature, "Cunningham 91," marks the mug's base.   Another similar mug in blue available

  • Pino Castagna Italian 1980s Post Modern Art Pottery Bowl
    By Pino Castagna
    Located in New York, NY
    A great Italian Post Modern art pottery bowl by noted artist , Pino Castagna . Signed. Biography: Pino Castagna was born in Castelgomberto, Italy, in 1932, and studied in the schools of fine arts of Verona and Venice. Together with Scottish sculptor Michael Noble and his wife, Ida Borleti, from 1957 and 1963 he designed a creative skill stimulation programme for the mental patients of the Verona psychiatric hospital, as well as directed a ceramics school and workshop in Garda. His growing interest in sculpture was encouraged by frequent visits to Paris and Milan. In 1969, he moved his workshop to Costermano del Garda, Italy, where he currently lives and works. Since then, Castagna’s work has been characterised by constant experimentation with new techniques and materials as diverse as ceramics, aluminium, stone, wood, concrete, strings or tree branches. Each of these offers a new and original expressive possibility, which the artist explores by testing the materials’ plastic potential and pushing their endurance limits. In addition to his practice as sculptor, Castagna’s oeuvre encompasses painting and design, as well as public art, fully revealing the architectural and environmental vocation of his work. Remarkable examples of this vocation may be found in Cespo veneziano [Venetian Basket...
