It's a striking example of a Studio Art Pottery Bowl created by Gerry Williams. It shows Gerry's experimental and playful nature on the exterior with deep muted colors of rusty brown and pale indigo blue. The thin angled terra cotta top rim and the robin's egg blue interior glaze gives the viewer a calm and peaceful feeling. It's a tall stoneware bowl that's unique, rich in color, and has an architectural feeling. This bowl is in perfect condition.

Gerry Williams ( 1926-2014 ) was an American potter who set up his studio in Southern New Hampshire in 1949. In 1972, Gerry and his wife co-founded the Studio Potter Magazine, an International Journal that became one of the most influential ceramic publications in the United States. It was the pulse of everything ceramics, and allowed Gerry to interact with the most innovative and cutting edge ceramicists working in the U.S., and abroad.

Gerry's work is presently in several museums including the American Museum of Ceramic Art, The Smithsonian museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. See less
