Condition
Overall very good condition. Please contact the department or visit sothebys.com for a photograph showing the six works included on this lot. Each of the works showing minor surface dirt from use. Each of the pieces were used by the owner and therefore with minor surface dirt from planting. With scattered surfaces scratches and minor discolorations consistent with age and use. Each of the works with holes to the underbases for irrigation, some of which appear original and some possibly later. The “Peanut” vessel with holes to the exterior one inch below the rim, as seen in the catalogue illustration. The wooden base of this piece with some light surface scratches and edge nicks consistent with use. This particular work is a rare and has a wonderful sculptural presence. The large cylinder form with flaring base with a chip to the lower portion of the foot measuring 1.5 by 1.5 inches and reveals the natural color of the earthenware. The round vessel with a crack starting at rim and extending vertically six inches. With additional minor radiating cracks at the rim, where the larger crack begins. The vase with wrought iron foot showing more concentrated surface soiling and some scratches and nicks to the metal base element. A very nice assembled group of forms displaying the depth of the Architectural Pottery firm’s output.
