About the Item
A masterful expression of mid-century ceramic innovation, this rare multi-spout vessel by Roberta Griffith for Design Technics fuses organic form with architectural precision. Hand-thrown and dramatically altered, the voluptuous body rises to 11.5 inches, crowned by a dynamic cluster of flared, tubular openings—each uniquely shaped and positioned. Deeply incised vertical ridges cascade down the surface, catching light across a lustrous metallic gunmetal glaze with subtle bronze undertones, evoking ancient ritual objects reimagined through modernist lens.
The underside bears the impressed DT cipher, confirming its provenance within Design Technics’ coveted 1960s output.
Dimensions: 11.5" H × 8.75" W × 9" D
About the Artist
“When I work three-dimensionally with clay… it is usually with the objective of making variations on a form, or to provide a surface for painterly images or designs… Creating multiples with variations on a form or exploring decorative possibilities fascinates me.”
Roberta Griffith’s boundary-pushing practice—rooted in archaeological inquiry, global travel, and material dialogue—transforms functional pottery into sculptural narrative. Her Design Technics vessels, often produced in rhythmic series, blur the line between utility and abstraction, serving as both standalone artworks and conceptual anchors for larger installations.
