Stunning example of California Pottery.
There are a number of Howard Pierce figures, but the glazing on these birds is simply dazzling in the range and execution of the color. Note that the mottling you see in in the glazing and not flaked glaze.
Born in Chicago, Howard Pierce began his artistic training at the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Illinois. He moved to Claremont, California in 1934, where he continued his education at Pomona College. He began producing ceramics in the late 1940’s. He moved to Joshua Tree in 1968 to continue ceramic design and production. Many of Howard’s pieces are now collectors items and Howard is prominent in many books on American Ceramics.
