Mushroom Table and Stools by Stan Bitters for Hans Sumpf Company, USA 1970s

About the Item

Beautiful and rare mushroom table and stools set by noted Californian ceramicist, Stan Bitters for Hans Sumpf company. As a pioneer of the organic modernist craft movement in the 1960s, Bitters has been producing rough-hewn ceramic birdhouses, planters, pedestals, mural tiles, totems, boulder walls, and fountains for more than half a century. He has mesmerized architects, landscapers, and collectors from the start but was recently discovered by a hip new audience. Actress Cameron Diaz has a Bitters water wall at her beach house, and Commune commissioned him to create a group of two-story fireplaces that are focal points at the Ace Hotel.  All pieces in exquisite condition. Fabulous condition to stoneware. Signature on inside of table pedestal reads ‘HSC’ - Hans Sumpf Company. A wonderful mid-century modern addition to any home garden. Priced as a set of 5. Stools dimensions vary: Taller stools x 2: Height = 14.5" Diameter = 12" Smaller stools x 2: Height = 12.75" Diameter = 12"
