Clara Katherine Nelson Vessel Vase, Early American Studio Pottery
Clara Katherine Nelson Vessel Vase, Early American Studio Pottery

Clara Katherine Nelson Vessel Vase, Early American Studio Pottery

By Katherine Nelson

Located in Clifton Springs, NY

Vintage ceramic vessel or vase features pitcher shaped body with decorative handle. The lower half of the body is lightly faceted, resulting in octagonal outline when the vessel is viewed from above; the upper half has rounded form with lightly flared rim. The minimal handle is accented with tear or water drop shaped element on top. The vase is decorated with complex blue and white glaze with foaming effect; the free-flowing pattern of larger bubble elements adds tactile, textural quality to the unusual glaze. The vessel is signed by the artist on the bottom; same signature can be seen on the bowl in E. John Bullard Collection of Bates College Museum of Art. Provenance: the vessel was acquired at the arts, antiques, and Folk Art collector estate in Western New York state. Clara Katherine Nelson (1890–1984) was a renowned American cubist painter and ceramic artist. She attended the Rhode Island School of Design and taught at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh. Nelson was invited by Charles Fergus Binns to teach painting and drawing at Alfred University at the School of Ceramics in 1920, replacing Marion Fosdick, who shifted to teaching modeling and pottery. Nelson worked with Binns and Fosdick to develop pioneering curriculum for functional ceramic education and started to work in pottery and ceramics herself; in 1927 they were joined by Charles Harder, who brought in the “New Bauhaus” aesthetic and studied with Lásló Moholoy-Nagy in Chicago. Fosdick, Harder and Nelson created the Ceramic Art curriculum throughout the 1930s and oversaw its transformation into Industrial Ceramic Design (from 1939–1951), and on into a more Bauhaus-inspired Ceramic Design (1951–1965). Nelson's students included Jane and Gordon Martz, Glidden Parker, Herb Cohen...

Antique, New and Vintage Pottery

Even if you’re (understandably) boastful of your minimalist loft apartment or breezy California coastal-style decor, your space could probably still use some streamlined antique and vintage pottery, which can prove both timeless and on-trend.

Pottery, which sees clay and other ceramic materials fired at high temperatures in order to lend them a durable and robust form, can introduce color and character to your dining room or living room. Pottery includes stoneware, porcelain and earthenware and, depending upon a piece’s origins, can vary considerably in style, form and function from one vessel to another. This makes it easy to find pottery for your interiors or outdoor garden areas, regardless of color scheme or design style.

“Ceramics are definitely seeing a resurgence in the decorating and art worlds,” says the team of Mat Sanders and Brandon Quattrone of interior design firm Consort. The personalization of handmade craftsmanship has served as a sort of anti-Internet to screen-weary decorators.

The rustic appearance of some mid-century-era Mexican pottery, such as a jug or water pitcher, can add earthy charm to your breakfast table while hand-painted antique Japanese pottery, such as a planter for your patio, might be characterized by rich colors and exquisitely detailed landscape scenes.

On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique, new and vintage pottery with origins in countries all over the world. Our collection includes vases, vessels and other tableware from France, Italy and China as well as contemporary pottery and pieces that date from the 18th century and earlier.
