A unique beautiful design bowl by Edwin and Mary Scheier with a flowing abstract line inscribed design around the circumference and subtle brown textured glaze. The motifs resemble ancient petroglyphs.
Although they were largely self-taught, they were soon winning awards in national competitions. From 1940 to 1960, they taught at the University of New Hampshire, Durham.
Mary threw their small and medium-sized vessels, such as this one. Its rounded shape and thin walls show her mastery of the wheel and her admiration for Asian ceramics traditions. Edwin was responsible for the glazing and decoration. The abstracted linear patterns he used here relate to late Surrealist and early Abstract Expressionist imagery, but also have a playful quality that reflects his whimsical sense of humor.
Their pieces are featured in private and museum collections.
