Walter Keeler vintage studio pottery stoneware salad bowl, early work, c1975
Diameter of rim 25.3 cm, external depth 14.8 cm. Condition: Very good condition, no chips cracks or restoration, some scratch mark to bottom inside. It is reduction glazed stoneware, with dribbled ash glazes in side the bowl, a precise crusty black glazed rim, incised decoration on the outside at the rim, and the outside of the bowl a matt green with brown flecks coming through. Walter Keeler (born 1942) is one of the pioneers of the revival of salt glazed stoneware pottery in Britain. He studied and subsequently taught at the Harrow School of Art, and had his first studio in 1965 in Buckinghamshire, moving to near Monmouth, Gwent in 1976. As his write up in Studio Ceramics (Alun Graves, 2003) says, his work shows a crisp precision in design and fluency in making, coupled with a striking and sometimes playful sculptural vision.
