About the Item
This striking hand-thrown ceramic pot is a signed studio work by Gay Schempp, featuring a bold Asian-inspired aesthetic highlighted by a dynamic sgraffito dragon motif. The vessel is cylindrical in form with gently rounded sides and a subtly thickened rim, giving it both visual weight and a grounded presence. The exterior displays a rich iron-red glaze layered over a natural gray stoneware body, with the dragon imagery carved through the glaze to reveal the contrasting clay beneath. This technique creates a dramatic, flowing composition that wraps around the pot and emphasizes movement and balance.
The interior shows natural throwing rings and kiln variation, consistent with handmade studio pottery. The base is fully signed “Gay Schempp,” confirming authorship and enhancing its collectible appeal. This piece reflects a fusion of traditional Asian decorative influences with modern American studio pottery practices, making it suitable as a sculptural object, planter, or display vessel. Its earthy palette and textural surface allow it to integrate seamlessly into both contemporary and eclectic interiors. A strong example of artist-signed ceramic craftsmanship with decorative and artistic significance.
