Creamer 1999

"Creamer" is a ceramic sculpture by Marleen Jack created in 1999. The work is composed of a small, elongated creamer and a lidded butter dish, both set upon a slightly oval tray. The artist uses earthenware, a type of clay that fires at low temperatures and is known for its rich and earthy hues. Jack's work is characterized by its rough, organic forms, the application of multiple glazes, and a distinctive layered texture. The surface of the vessels is composed of various shades of greens, yellows, and browns, creating a sense of depth and warmth.
