Warren MacKenzie American studio pottery very fine stoneware charger
A very fine large stoneware charger by leading post-war American potter Warren MacKenzie. Classic orange shino glaze with abstract trailed decoration in copper. Potter’s mark to the underside, part-filled with glaze (some of MacKenzie’s work is marked, but he also went through periods of leaving his work unmarked according to Mingei principles). Excellent condition, as new. Dimensions (approximate): 33cm x 5cm. Warren MacKenzie was one of the most important American potters of the post-war period, strongly influenced by the principles set out by Bernard Leach, Hamada Shoji and Yanagi Soetsu. This is an excellent example of his work and relatively uncommon on the British market. I’ve not really been very sure how to price this. Galleries in America are now asking several hundred dollars for a tea bowl by MacKenzie and comfortably into four-figures for a very large charger (both of which would have absolutely horrified him, as far as I can tell – but if that’s what the market will bear it is what it is, a tension that’s always been at the heart of this sort of thing). So I’m trying to pitch it somewhere in the middle, not wanting to hold out for gallery price but also not wanting to let it go for too little given the direction of travel on prices and given the potter’s importance. If somebody wants it, it’s here to go. If not, I’m happy to hang onto it. This item is in the category “Pottery, Ceramics & Glass\Decorative Pottery, Ceramics & Glass\Vases”.
