Edwin and Mary Scheier Hand Decorated "Fertility" Low Bowl

About the Item

Hand thrown and decorated pottery low bowl by Edwin and Mary Scheier. Good overall condition with no visible chips, cracks, hairlines, crazing or restorations. The bowl measures approximately 7.13" diameter x 1.25" high. Edwin Scheier's work often employed symbols for life, birth, and rebirth.[7] The figures applied to the thrown vessels often involve people within people, womb-like, or within animals. Scheier often utilized stylistic techniques learned during his time in Oaxaca. His designs were often compared to those of Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee but ultimately, as an artist, they were his own. In 1988, Edward Lebow described Scheier's figure work as showing “the humorous lyrical primitivism of the personal subconscious.”
