Large vessel with fitted cover is incised signed on the underside Skala and is Circa 1950 - 1960. The sides of the vessel are slightly curved with a ribbed pattern accentuated with brown edges that are set against a speckled mat green glaze. The cover has a sgraffito spiral turned swirl pattern and a handle that matches the handles on the pot. The inside of this functional vessel is fully glazed. Skala’s work is inspired by centuries of tradition and a modern aesthetic to create pots for simple practicality and elegance of form.

This fabulous hand-crafted art pottery was purchased in Bouckville, NY. This is the work of a truly accomplished artist and is emblematic of the 20th-century Studio Ceramics Movement.

James Skala studied at Alfred University and exhibited at the Ceramic Nationals in 1954, 1956 and 1962.

This lidded vessel is in excellent vintage condition, with NO chips or cracks. This Art Pottery is the PERFECT addition to your Mid-Century Modern Art Pottery collection. See less
