 A Tribute to the Potteries
of the Arts & Crafts Movement
In creating this line of vases, I acted as much as an
editor as a designer. I selected a series of shapes that I
found to be classic and representative of both the Movement
in general and the specific art potteries whose work I admire
the most: Rookwood, Grueby, Teco, Marblehead, Chelsea, Van
Briggle, and Newcomb. A short history of The Arts and Crafts
Movement came with each vase.
Some of these shapes were near reproductions; some were derived
from vases that were hand decorated with floral or Art Nouveau
patterns; and some were sculpted with relief patterns of stems
and leaves. In my contemporary interpretation and tribute,
I chose to reduce these classic works to their simplest
shape, their essence, and offer them in a variety of monochrome,
satin matte glazes.
