About the Item

A wonderful, absolute gem of a piece by famed American California studio ceramist Beatrice Wood featuring her highly desired gorgeous iridescent luster volcanic (crater) lava glaze. This miniature (mini) vase/vessel/pot may very possibly be the smallest piece Beatrice ever made - quite reminiscent of the highly coveted and also quite rare small/ miniature pottery pieces made by Otto and Gertrude Natzler. We have certainly not seen another piece like it in size and design. The glaze radiates and shifts in color in the light. Signed by Beatrice in her customary "Beato" on the underside of the base. She incised her name because the work was likely too small to write on. A must for any collectors of Beatrice's work and/or an amazing addition to any Mid-Century Modern/California Studio pottery collection. A fabulous crown jewel. Again, one of a kind and extremely rare. 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 Her works can be found in many prominent collections and museums including: Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, Arizona Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, New York Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Charles A.
