Large American Craft Ceramic Vessel by Emily Rossheim
A serene and sculptural large-scale ceramic vessel by the noted American ceramicist Emily Rossheim.
This striking piece features a low, lenticular (lens-shaped) profile, expertly wheel-thrown and altered to create a sleek, modernist silhouette. The surface is finished with a signature matte glaze in a soft, atmospheric palette of pale celadon green, interrupted by sweeping, abstract waves of dusty violet and mauve. The application of the glaze—likely airbrushed—creates a luminous, soft-focus effect, evocative of a misty landscape or cloud formations. The work exemplifies Rossheim's mastery of "light-gathering" forms that bridge the gap between functional pottery and pure sculpture.
Markings: Signature: Inscribed with the artist's initials "ER" on the underside.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The matte surface is well-preserved.
Measurements:
Diameter: 14 1/4 inches (36.2 cm)
Height: 3 3/4 inches (9.5 cm)
Historical Context:
Emily Rossheim is an American ceramic artist known for her refined, minimalist vessels that emphasize form and color over ornamentation. Based in Vermont (and later working as part of Rossheim/Marrinson Studios), her work is characterized by the use of earthenware and porcelain treated with layers of slips and matte glazes to achieve a "painterly" quality.. Her work is celebrated for its distinctive "light-gathering" quality, achieved through the use of luminescent underglazes and satin-matte finishes that make the vessels appear to glow.
Rossheim has been a jury-selected artist for the prestigious Smithsonian Craft Show in Washington, D.C., and her work is exhibited and sold in fine craft galleries throughout the United States.
