Description

This tall, sculptural studio pottery pitcher is an absolute showstopper, standing impressively with an asymmetrical rim, a dramatic elongated spout, and a looping triple-curl handle that means business. The body is decorated with a stunning lace-impression texture in black against cream and slate blue glazes, creating a textile-meets-ceramic effect that is genuinely one of a kind. The base is inscribed with what appears to read 'DZON 87' or similar, suggesting an artist's mark and a 1987 date, placing this piece firmly in the golden era of American studio craft. A true gallery-worthy centerpiece.

This chunky, wheel-thrown stoneware beer stein or tall mug is built for someone who takes their morning coffee or evening ale seriously. Glazed in a rich layered palette of deep burgundy dripping into sage green with a mottled, almost geological texture on the lower body, this mug has serious visual weight and a solid, comfortable handle. The unglazed foot ring shows gritty, speckled stoneware clay typical of quality studio work. No visible maker's mark on the examined base.

This dark brown glazed ceramic lidded box is a two-piece set with a removable flat lid, both finished in a deep chocolate-brown glaze that is glossy on the interior and lid top. The lid features a sculpted, low-relief landscape scene with what appears to be trees, a small figure, and rocky terrain rendered in earthy multicolor glazes, making it a tiny work of art you can hold in your palm. The box itself has a squared, slightly irregular form with notched corners, adding a handmade charm. A perfect trinket or ring box with serious artistic credibility.
