Vase c. 1910

This "Vase" (c. 1910), by American artist George E. Ohr (1857-1918), is a fine example of Ohr's distinctive, highly textured style. Ohr, known as the "Mad Potter of Biloxi," was renowned for his innovative approach to ceramics. He used unconventional methods to create unique, organic shapes, which were often distorted, asymmetrical, and full of character. The vase's uneven surface, flowing form, and decorative handles showcase Ohr's technical mastery and creative spirit. This piece is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
