Lane Gordon Thorlaksson Canadian Studio Pottery Bowl with Stand
Located in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire
A stunning Canadian studio pottery miniature bowl decorated in yellow glazes with an associated pottery stand by Lane Gordon Thorlaksson (Canadian, 1937-2009) dated 1976. Lane Gordon Thorlaksson was born in 1937 in Winnipeg, Manitoba and moved to Vancouver as a child. In his twenties, he represented Canada in the 1959 Chicago Pan-American Games, running alongside Henry 'Harry' Winston Jerome in both the 100 yard and 220-yard dash. Following this, he attended San Jose University of California and in 1966 received a BFA in Ceramics. Working with clay was Thorlaksson’s passion. He was fascinated with Asian ceramics, in particular the Song dynasty Chinese pot forms and glazes. In 1985, the Mayor of Vancouver, Mike Harcourt, visited China on a goodwill mission for the twinning of Vancouver with Guangzhou China. As gifts, he took with him several of Thorlaksson’s ceramics and presented them to Cao Yun-ping, Secretary-General of the People's Municipal Government of Guangzhou. The pieces were well received and local Chinese potters were interested to learn about his glazing techniques. In 1987, Thorlaksson was invited to visit China’s Guangzhou University to exhibit more of his work. He was aided in this exchange by Joanne Mah, the Director of Intercultural Training and Educational Consultants (ITEC), who had worked with the Harcourt exchange. In 1988, she and her husband sponsored a pre-gallery showing of Thorlaksson’s ceramics at the ITEC’s Hong Kong office, prior to an exhibition at Alvin Gallery in Hong Kong. Thorlaksson was celebrated and introduced to academics and the media, including the head of ceramics at the Guangzhou Institute of Fine Arts. Local Chinese potters were eager to learn about his firing techniques, which used multiple firings to create special glaze characteristics. They were also intrigued to understand how he designed his own stands as an integrated part of his presentation. Unlike Asian potters who used wooden stands, Thorlaksson produced his stands in clay, matching each stand in aesthetic and tone to its pot. This two-part process elevated his pieces to sculpture. He believed that ceramics should be viewed as fine art and not craft. He was inspired by the female form and was quoted as saying 'Most potters make pots; I make parts of people'. The bowl is of wide squat rounded form with a fold over rim and is decorated in pale yellow glazes over a brown ground and stands on a narrow round unglazed foot. The design is probably based and inspired by a Chinese brush washer...

Rare Pre-Columbian Moche Portrait Vessel – Musician Latin American Art
Located in London, GB
Rare Pre-Columbian Moche Portrait Vessel – Musician with Panpipes – Peru, 700–900 AD An exceptional and highly unusual Pre-Columbian Moche greyware portrait vessel, depicting a diminutive rotund personage playing panpipes. This rare sculptural ceramic, dating to the Moche IV period (circa 700–900 AD), features expressive detailing including a crown-style headdress, flowing hair, and an axe carried at the side—suggesting both ceremonial and symbolic importance. Culture: Moche Civilization, Northern Peru Period: Moche IV, circa 700–900 AD Region: Pre-Columbian South America Material: Greyware ceramic Subject: Dwarf figure playing panpipes, wearing a headdress and carrying an axe Condition: Two prongs of the headdress have been professionally restored; part of the panpipes is lost otherwise intact and well preserved Provenance: From the Romy Rey Collection, UK – acquired before 1960 Additional Detail: Retains an old collection label on the base Cultural Context: The Moche culture, predating the Inca Empire, is renowned for its lifelike portrait vessels and ceremonial ceramics.
