1970s Lidded Pottery Vessel by Gerry Williams, Ceramic, Listed Potter

About the Item

This striking lidded vessel is an authentic work by Gerry Williams (1926–2014), a pioneering American ceramic artist and founder of Studio Potter magazine. Renowned for his innovative approach to glaze techniques and his profound influence on the American studio pottery movement, Williams’ work is celebrated in prominent collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Currier Museum of Art. Crafted in the 1970s, this sculpture showcases Williams’ signature style, characterized by a dynamic interplay of form and texture. The piece is a captivating composition of geometric shapes—a smooth, rounded dome atop a textured cube, all resting on a cylindrical base. Its subtle yet sophisticated glaze palette reflects Williams’ mastery in surface treatment, blending earthy and deep blue hues. Signed by the artist, this sculpture is a testament to Williams’ creative vision and technical prowess. It is an exceptional addition for collectors and enthusiasts of mid-20th-century American ceramics.
