Lorraine North 1970s Studio Pottery Group Scarce Mobile Alabama Artist

About the Item

Lorraine North (1931-2014) produced extraordinary Mid-Century Modern scratch decorated studio pottery in the 1970s and 1980s. It is extremely difficult to find examples of her work available. The forms and decoration speak for themselves. The measurement provided is for the larger lidded form. The ornament is local inspired and includes birds, fish, snails and flowers. The Gulf Coast of Alabama and Mississippi hosts a legion of artists and craftspeople with epicenters in Fairhope, Alabama and Ocean Springs, Mississippi, some of international acclaim and others finding recognition only posthumously. It's a great time to start a collection of Alabama, and the related arts and crafts of the Southern Gulf Coast.

Louisville Pottery Company Daniel Boone Rare Mauve Mid Century Modern Kentucky
By Louisville Pottery Company
Located in Mobile, AL
The Louisville Pottery company used a variety of stamps and sold to touristy shops with marks including Cherokee, Great Smokey Mountains, Daniel Boone, Mammoth Cave, Kentucky Hand Made and more. Most of them are small pitchers and vases in traditional forms. But, then there are occasional exceptions and over time we have all learned that major designers including Frederic Hurten Rhead (over at Selden Bybee) were working in the area. Research is ongoing to identify the examples designed and/or influenced by well known artists or simply a great relatively unknown designer or two deserving of recognition for their work. The JB Speed Art Museum cataloged a slightly smaller gloss green example Accession number 2007.10.9 with the Cherokee Pottery...

Tiffany Studios bronze patinated pen tray form #1000 Arts and Crafts
By Tiffany Studios
Located in Mobile, AL
The Zodiac pen tray is a fantastic holiday gift for the Cancer or Pisces who loves Tiffany, Arts and Crafts or simply fine living. Designed for pens over a century ago, the functions today can be endless. This examples is well cast and retains a fair amount of the original patina. The surface is a lovely mottled brown and black finish and there is significant red and green patina underneath where it was not exposed to UV light over the past century. The detail shots show the quality of the cast clearly and the markings of Tiffany Studios 1000. There is minor overall wear and modest scratching from both use and from cleaning. Nonetheless, the photos show how astoundingly attractive this example is and would we really expect a century old desk...
