About the Item

Serving platter in Alpha 3 pattern was designed by Kaneaki Fujimori for Kato Kogei Japan in 1980s. Alpha 3 series consists of mugs, salad/casual plates, and decorative serving platter; the pieces in the series are decorated with highly colorful designs influenced by Memphis Milano style. Porcelain platter was made in Nagoya, Japan; unusual asymmetric, angular geometric shape of the plate supports and adds intensity to the playful colors of decoration. Kaneaki Fujimori (1935-) graduated from college in 1958, majoring in oil painting and design, and worked as a designer for a major American ceramics company in Chicago. In 1963 Fujimori returned to Japan to work as a freelance designer for ceramic companies in Nagoya. He received multiple prestigious national art awards, and in 1980s Fujimori became the art director for Kato Kogei, a major supplier of Japanese ceramics to the international markets. The plate is marked at the bottom with "Fujimori Collection Alpha 3 Kato Kogei Japan". It is in good vintage condition with one fleabite on the rim that is not visible, but can be felt by touch; please see pictures. We are offering sets of 4 and 6 plates and set of mugs (2 sets are in boxes, with booklets) from the Alpha 3 series in separate listings.

Douglas Ferguson for Pigeon Forge Crater Glaze Bowl #2, American Studio Pottery
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Vintage hand-thrown bowl features complex Crater glaze in off-white and mocha brown colors. Minimal color palette and streamlined shape of the piece allow the textured glaze with variations from semi-matte to high gloss to take the spotlight; slightly asymmetrical rim adds hand-crafted, Organic Modern mood to the bowl's design. The bowl is personally signed by Douglas Ferguson on the bottom with his name and "Pigeon Forge Pottery". The Crater glaze has become one of the most recognizable glazes made by the Pigeon Forge Pottery. Often commonly referred to as "Volcanic" or "Lava" glaze, the Crater glaze was developed and made in several colors. We are offering a vase and 4 more bowls in different shapes by Douglas Ferguson, done in variations of Crater glazes, in separate listings. Douglas Ferguson (1912-1999) was an established Tennessee pottery artist; he received a degree in Art Design Studies from Mars Hill College and worked in the Ceramic Research Laboratory for the Tennessee Valley Authority in Norris, TN, from 1935 to 1947, where he experimented with local clays. In 1946 he started Pigeon Forge Pottery in an old tobacco barn with his wife Ruth and Ernest Wilson, his colleague at the Ceramic Research Laboratory. He formulated many of his own glazes, including crystalline and Crater glaze. In 1957 he created the Clingman Dome tea set, named by Ferguson for the highest peak in the Great Smoky Mountains, which the state of Tennessee presented to Queen Elizabeth. Ferguson became a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild in 1948 and remained active until 1998, receiving Life Membership in 1991. He earned two awards from the Tennessee Arts and Crafts Festival in Nashville, received the Rotary Certificate of Distinguished Service, and was featured in books on Appalachian...
