Description
Description:A wonderful large 11 3/4" low pottery bowl attributed to Edith Heath of Heath Ceramics fame. We have always been curious about this line after first seeing them in Jack Chipman's California Pottery Scrapbook (page 211). We've now had a few pieces and having recently seen some of the pieces while on the Heath Sausalito tour, can state that they are indeed associated with Edith Heath, and likely from the 1950s-60s. They may possibly be production pottery instead of studio pottery, and produced outside the actual Heath facotry - but we haven't seen conclusive info yet.
Eggshell white matte glaze with brown speckling on the sides, and darker brown glaze on the top rim. (Color may look a little pinkish due to reflection) Lighter weight ceramic construction. Back glaze in mottled brown. We've seen pieces come in white, pink color or a light blue-green, with different vase or bowl forms. This one is quite scarce and desirable (have only seen this particular large bowl once). Would make a great addition for the serious Heath collector. Incised on bottom with "HEATH", we have seen both marked and unmarked forms.
Please Note: Per Ebay, this item will require signature confirmation due to the price.
