Ceramic Lusterware Bowl with Metallic Glaze by Beatrice Wood

Creator: Beatrice (Beato) Wood
Offered by: Tishu

Description
A ceramic lusterware tea bowl by American artist and studio potter Beatrice Wood (11893-1998). The piece, circa 1980s, is of an organic form typical of a Japanese tea bowl. The surface was applied with splashes and drips of a brilliant metallic copper glaze and black lines over a beige-peach background. The copper luster glaze continues its flow into the interior of the bowl. A small copper glaze mandala centers the bottom of the bowl. Signed on the bottom "Beato".
Beatrice Wood was a multi-disciplinary artist and author. In her long life and career, she was known as Mama of Dada, an avant-garde artist, a potter, an author, and an inspiration. Her long career with pottery is distinguished by a signature style of in-glaze luster that draws the metallic salts to the surface of the glaze by starving the kiln of oxygen.
