GEORGE OHR Cabinet vase with folded rim, covered in gunmetal brown and bright green matte glaze. Complete with signed stilt pad. Minor nicks to paper-thin rim. Vase stamped, stilt pad incised G. E. OHR. 3 1/4" x 3"
Condition
Stilt pads would normally have been snipped off, leaving little bumps to show where they had been. Either Ohr neglected to do this, or feared that removing it might destroy the delicate piece. We saved this little oddity because it adds yet another dimension to knowledge of the Mad Potter of Biloxi, whose ego was such that he marked even his home-made kiln furniture. Evidently, these were made by pressing clay into small plaster molds in which he had scratched his name - thus, the lettering is raised.
