About the Item

Covered vessel or jar was handmade in white clay by Rob Wiedmaier of River Hills Pottery as a part of a series done in 1980s. The lid of the vessel is decorated with abstract landscape design done in complex mix of multicolored, textured matte and semi-matte glazes. The edge of the lid is accentuated with lighter shade of the glaze. The body and the inner surfaces of the vessel are glazed in subtly speckled chocolate brown semi-gloss glaze. The round body of the jar has slightly flattened sides, creating a complex, but understated, shape; the lid is circular. Subtle, earthy palette, minimal, refined shape, and exquisite texture of the glazes exemplify organic, natural design of the vessel. The piece has artist mark on the bottom. Rob Wiedmaier received BA in Art from Missouri Western State University in 1975. His works are influenced by colors and patterns found in the natural world, as well as by traditional forms, from Greek amphoras to works of Native Americans from the Southwest. During his undergraduate work he became very interested in Far East and Japanese ceramics, and this inspiration has stayed with him throughout his career as a clay artist. He participated in numerous exhibitions worldwide, is represented by multiple galleries, and had his work displayed in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. We are currently offering three versions of the vessel in small, medium, and large size, as shown in the last picture, in separate listings for buyer's convenience.

Lee Levy Multi Spouted Vase, American Studio Pottery
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Vintage ceramic bud vase features sculptural multi spouted shape and stunning textured drip glaze in earthy, organic brown palette. The gradation glaze color and abstract graphic pattern of the main decor emphasize the soft, rounded shape of the vase; the use of shades of brown, from dark espresso to mocha to off-shite cappuccino, creates rich and varied, but monochromatic palette that does not overpower the complex form and shape of the vase. The vase is signed on the bottom with LEE, that was Lee Levy customary signature; it is not dated, but the style of the piece is consistent with her Mid-Century Modern pieces created in 1960s-1970s. Leah "Lee" Levy (1922 - 2011) was an established pottery artist based in Upstate New York area. She was born in Pinsk, formerly in Poland, now in Belarus, and moved to the United States in 1929, growing up in Brookline, Massachusetts. She and her husband Irving started their first pottery studio in Long Island, New York, in late 1940s, while training at the Alfred University School of Ceramics alongside with some of the foremost artists and craftsman in America. Since 1946, Alfred University in Alfred, New York was a home for School for American Craftsmen, with the faculty that included Edwin Blanchard Brown, Ernest Frank Brace, Laurits Eichner, Philip Morton, Charles Reese, Ethel Mitchell, Robert Savage, Thomas Mclure, and most importantly for Levy, the renowned ceramists Linn Phelan and Herbert Sanders...
