Vase 1894 - 1903

This "Vase" by George E. Ohr, a renowned American potter, is a prime example of his eccentric and innovative approach to ceramics. Created between 1894 and 1903, the vase showcases Ohr's signature style, characterized by its asymmetrical form, vibrant glazes, and spontaneous, almost uncontrolled surface textures. The piece's organic, asymmetrical shape and the irregular application of the glaze contribute to a visually dynamic and unpredictable aesthetic, reflecting Ohr's unique artistic vision. Currently residing in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this vase stands as a testament to Ohr's unconventional and artistic genius, capturing the essence of his "Mad Potter of Biloxi" persona.
