Paintings, Art, Artefacts, Photographs, Curiosities from 2000 BC to 1999 AD. Abuja Pottery Jar Nigeria West African Studio Pottery Incised Lizards 1950s. West African studio pottery: an Abuja Pottery jar, in the manner of Ladi Kwali, with incised lizards under a rich brown glaze. The Abuja Pottery Training Centre in northern Nigeria, set up in 1952 by Michael Cardew, became one of the great meeting points of African and British studio pottery. Its best-known potter, Ladi Kwali, brought the traditional incised decoration of Gwari pottery to glazed stoneware, and pieces in this style are now keenly collected. This jar is finely incised with lizard forms beneath the glaze. It is 19.5 cm x 15.5 cm (7.7 x 6.1 in) and the base is 8 cm (3.1 in) in diameter and the opening is 8 cm (3.1 in). It weighs 1.3 kg. Collection or viewing in the flesh at our shop in Kendal, B2. 100% AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE Everything we sell is guaranteed to be of the date or period given in the title and description.
