John Glick Pottery Pitcher

About the Item

A traditional form pottery pitcher by John Glick in shades of brown, green and orange. Markings on sides and signed on underside. John Glick is a people’s potter. In a career spanning over five decades, the ceramist has remained committed to the art and craft of functional vessels and their incorporation into the rituals of daily life. Glick was born in 1938 and raised in Detroit. He studied ceramics and metalsmithing in high school and college, receiving his BFA in 1960 from Wayne State University. He went on to study with renowned ceramist Maija Grotell at Cranbrook Academy of Art, where he received his MFA in 1962. Following his studies at Cranbrook, Glick was drafted into the Army and sent to West Germany. According to an interview with Jody Clowes in American Craft magazine (June/July 1991), Glick's interaction with several small, traditional salt-glazing potteries in the town of Höhr-Grenzhausen reinforced his intent to pursue full-time studio work. When he returned to Michigan in 1964, Glick quickly established a studio and showroom under the name Plum Tree Pottery, a pursuit he would follow for the next 50 years.
