Bowl (USA)

This is a bowl. It was company: Biloxi Art Pottery and ceramist: George E. Ohr. It is dated 1893–1909 and we acquired it in 1984. Its medium is painted and glazed earthenware. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.

The self-styled “mad potter of Biloxi,” Ohr is known for his ability to create very thin-walled vessels on the potter’s wheel and his creative techniques for distorting their shapes. This bowl exemplifies these techniques, as the thin form has been crumpled and twisted into a free-form, organic object. The mottled interior and exterior add to the organic nature of this bowl, creating a unique total aesthetic.

This object was donated by Marcia Goodman and William Goodman. It is credited Gift of Marcia and William Goodman.
