Vase by George Ohr, 1897-1900
01
Artifact Overview
George Ohr is regarded as the father or grandfather of Studio Ceramics in America. This highly expressive vase is a good example of Ohr's style and technique -- simple earthenware shaped into Ohr's uniquely twisted form. His creations, regarded as "ugly" in his own time, are now seen as the precursor to work by today's contemporary ceramic artists.
