Shoji Hamada (1884-1978) along with Bernard Howell Leach is considered co-founder of modern day pottery, blending Eastern and Western techniques. Hamada was an important member of the mingei folk art movement, focusing on aesthetic as well as function in his ceramic creations.
Hamada was trained at Tokyo Technical College and became greatly inspired by the works of Bernard Leach, so much so that he traveled to St. Ives, United Kingdom with Leach and worked there for three years.
Afterwards, he established his own studio in Mashiko, Japan. Shoji Hamada was declared a "Living National Treasure" in 1955 and died on January 5, 1978.
His work can be found in collections and museums worldwide including Tokyos Japan Folk Art Museum and The Tate Museum, London UK.

Shoji Hamada
Shoji Hamada, Designated as a Living National Treasure in 1955, was famed for his return to folk crafts (mingei), establishing the small town of Mashiko as a center of pottery. Hamada espoused simplicity of form in his works, particularly notable in his sugar cane motifs. Hamada strived to reach a style and feeling of innocence through his craft.

Mathilde Schaefer Modern Studio Pot with Horse Motif
By Mathilde Schaefer
Located in Phoenix, AZ
Beautiful and whimsical ceramic vase handmade by celebrated artist Mathilde Schaefer, wife of noted Arizona artist Lew Davis.
This unusual and rare terra cotta vase with a glazed turquoise interior
(and other glazed portions: manes, tails, hooves and eyes), is dated 1949
on the bottom in pencil and marked "Desert Kilns Arizona."
Also inscribed in pencil on the bottom: “Merry Christmas from Bill Benton.”
We are not certain who the recipient was but the vase was owned and given as a gift by Bill Benton, a Senator from Connecticut who wintered in Arizona. He was a friend of Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s when Arizona and Phoenix in particular had a very active art community.
Known in Arizona in the 1960s as an instructor of pottery and sculpture at the Desert School of Art in Scottsdale and also as the wife of artist Lew Davis, she was born in New York City and studied with Raoul Josset and Walter Lemcke.
In 1938, she began exhibiting at the Art Institute of Chicago. She married Davis and they moved to Scottsdale, Arizona where she maintained a studio. Her sculpture is in numerous collections including that of International Business Machines...
