Vintage Gawaine Dart Studio Pottery Bowl 1950 1955

Vintage Gawaine Dart Studio Pottery Bowl 1950 - 1955. This bowl is a nice earlier Mid-Century Modern example of Gawaine Dart's works.

This particular mark puts it in the 1950 to 1955 range. It has a great design with a beautiful yellow over reddish brown abstract glaze on the outside and a kind of grayish with green tone on the inside.

It measures 3 1/8" tall and 7 1/8" in diameter and is in excellent condition with no chips cracks or repairs, there are glaze misses along the rim which are part of the original making of this piece. Gawaine Dart (1929 - 2018) completed degrees in Fine Art at Eastern Michigan University and Wayne State University. He also had a prolific career as a studio artist. He exhibited his ceramics, painting and jewelry in several one-man shows around Michigan, including at the Hanamura Galleries, Detroit, and Habatat Galleries, Dearborn, in two-person shows with wife Jane M. Dart, and in numerous juried group shows throughout the Midwest.

I have enjoyed these pots but it is time to let them go to new homes. This specific piece I acquired from the Estate of the art librarian at Eastern Michigan University more then 40 years ago and has always been one of my favorites. It will be a nice addition to any studio pottery collection.
