About the Item
A wonderfully designed work by famed American California Studio master ceramist Beatrice Wood featuring a gorgeous, dark, iridescent metallic volcanic lava crater luster (lustre) glaze. A classic and timeless shape, the dark volcanic glaze shifts subtle colors (blacks, purples, browns, greens, ...)and tones in the light. A somewhat rare combination of glazes and diminutive size (quite reminiscent of the small miniature pottery pieces made by Otto and Gertrude Natzler). Very coveted and alluring overall.
Signed by Beatrice in her customary "Beato" on the underside of the base.
Would be an amazing addition to any Mid-Century Modern pottery collection or personal collectors of Beatrice's work - or make for a fabulous stand-alone accent piece in any setting.
Know famously in the art world as "The Mama of Dada", Wood lived a long (1893-1998) and very fruitful, creative life and is considered by many experts and collectors alike to have been a centerpiece in the modern ceramic art movement of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. At one point in her career, Wood studied with master potters Otto and Gertrud Natzler and later became famed in her own right for her distinct luster-glazing techniques. In 1994, the Smithsonian Institution named Wood an "Esteemed American Artist".
Her other awards include:
1994 Governor’s Awards for the Arts (California)
1993 Recognition as A Role Model by Women in Film
1992 Gold Medal for Highest Achievement in Craftsmanship, American Craft Council
1988 Distinguished Service Award, Arizona State University
1987 Fellow of American Craft Council Women’s Art Caucus, National Award (NCECA Award)
1986 Women’s Building Award
1984 Living Treasure of California
1983 Symposium Award of the Institute for Ceramic History
1961 Goodwill Ambassador from USA to India – exhibition and lecture tour
