F. Carlton Ball / Aaron Bohrod Collaboration Museum Level Vase
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A VERY HANDSOME MUSEM LEVEL VASE BY F. CARLTON BALL WITH SGRAFFITO CARVED LINES IN THE DESIGN MOTIF BY NOTED ARTIST AARON BOHROD. THIS CONSISTS OF TWO BULLS AND TWO SUNS. ONE BULL IS LOOKING STRAIGHT AHEAD AND THE OTHER IS LOOKING DIRECTLY AT YOU. THEY ARE COMPLETE WITH HORNS AS WELL AS GENITALIA!! THIS IS A VERY LARGE VASE AT 14 3/16 INCHES TALL BY 6 INCHES IN DIAMETER AND WEIGHS A SUBSTANTIAL 7 LBS 8 OZ. THE NECK AND RIM ARE A CREAM COLOR WITH SOME IRON SPECKS BURNING THROUGH FROM THE CLAY BODY. THE BALANCE OF THE VASE IS CREAM WITH A BROWN WASH OVER THE UPPER AND LOWER AREAS THAT EXHIBITS A VERY INTERESTING SPECKLED TEXTURE OVER THE CREAM BASE COLOR. THE SGRAFFITO LINES BY BOHROD ARE A DARK BROWN COLOR AND QUITE DRAMATIC. THE FOOT AREA IS VERY BROAD AT A FULL INCH+ WIDE AND IS CUT DEEPLY INTO THE SIDE OF THE VASE WHICH HAS THE EFFECT OF LIFTING THE PIECE OFF THE SURFACE IT SITS ON VERY NICELY. THE LIGHTER LINES ON THE FOOT (PHOTOS 6, 7 AND 8) ARE NOT SCUFFS. I BELIEVE THEY REPRESENT A DIFFERENT COLOR CLAY THAT WAS MIXED INTO THE REST OF THE CLAY IN A PUG MILL WHICH IS COMMONLY USED IN MOST CERAMIC STUDIOS TO RE-USE CLAY TRIMMINGS. IN PHOTO #6 ABOVE THE F. BALL SIGNATURE IS WHAT APPEARS TO BE A VERY SHALLOW ANGLED FIRING CRACK, PERHAPS FROM THE DIFFERENT CLAY MIXED IN WITH THE DARKER CLAY. IT IS SIGNED BY BOTH ARTISTS. INCLUDED IS A HARDBOUND COPY OF’A SKETCHBOOK’ BY BOHROD ILLUSTRATING HIS MANY POTTERY DESIGNS AND A PRESS PHOTO OF BOTH ARTISTS IN THE 1950’S WITH A NEWSPAPER CLIPPING ON THE BACK. THE PHOTO SHOWS BALL THROWING A VASE AND BOHROD LOOKING AT ONE OF 9 PIECES HE HAS DECORATED. The item “F.
