Vase 1892 - 1902

This "Vase" by George E. Ohr is a unique example of American Art Pottery from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Ohr, known as the "Mad Potter of Biloxi," was renowned for his unconventional techniques and unpredictable glazes, often creating abstract and expressive forms. This piece, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Ohr's mastery of the medium, with its vibrant, drippy glaze and organically shaped handles, demonstrating his innovative approach to traditional ceramic forms. The vase's captivating colors and textures create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, making it a testament to Ohr's artistic genius.
