Laura Andreson Signed Glazed Mid-Century Modern California Studio Pottery Bowl
By Laura Andreson
Located in Studio City, CA
A wonderfully crafted and beautifully glazed bowl by renowned American California master potter Laura Andreson. An uncommon form for Andreson with a high gloss glaze featuring a dark ocean deep blue / aqua color with delicate splashes of greens. Gorgeous in its Mid-Century Modern design.
Signed on the base by Andreson (and stamped).
A special and scarce work. Would be a great addition to any midcentury ceramics/ pottery collection or a very eye-catching stand-alone accent work in about any setting. This piece has a fantastic feel and heft to it.
Andreson, who studied under Glen Lukens, founded and headed the ceramics department at UCLA from 1933 to 1970. Her work can be found in many collections and museums worldwide including:
Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Museum of Modern Art
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Smithsonian Museum of American Art
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art
The Walker Art Center
The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art.
Her exhibitions include:
1937 Rene Rosenthal Gallery, New York City, New York
1938 First California Ceramic Exhibition, San Diego, California
1940 Honolulu Academy of Art
1947 Eleventh National Ceramics Exhibition, Metropolitan Museum of Art
