About the Item

A small ceramic vessel by renowned British potter Waistel Cooper (1913-2009). The organic shape is decorated with handmade vertical - and occasional lateral - sgraffito lines - in natural tones of cream and brown, best shown in the main image. Glazed to the interior. Signed "Waistel" to the underside. Approximate dimensions: H 10cm Diameter 13cm Waistel Cooper was born in Scotland but, after a short spell in Iceland, spent most of his career in the south west of England (where we believe this piece was made). He contributed to the post-war studio pottery movement and although based far from the London trends, his work is often compared to that of his contemporaries Hans Coper and Lucie Rie. Cooper was the subject of two recent exhibitions at the Fine Art Society in London and Edinburgh, and works are held by a number of major galleries and museums, including the Victoria and Albert in London.

Clyde Burt Ceramic Vessel or Vase
By Clyde Burt
Located in Dallas, TX
Born in Melrose, Ohio in 1922, Clyde Burt would go on to become a major voice in American studio ceramics. He studied at Fort Wayne Art School and later at the Cape Cod School of Art before landing at the Cranbrook Academy of Art to study under Maija Grotell. While Grotell is responsible for bringing the wheel to Cranbrook, Burt made it central to his practice and his thrown works express the same endless curiosity as his teacher. Upon returning to Ohio, Burt built a home studio on his family’s farmland near the Little Auglaize River and harvested rich clay from the surrounding area. He started every day at 5:30 in the morning and would work until he knew he “had enough”. Constantly experimenting with glazes, colors and surface decoration, Burt painstakingly recorded his successes and failures in a small notebook...
