Description
Tony Evans signed and numbered
studio vase
(See Below for Tony Evans
history)
A Hand Crafted Porcelain
Masterpiece, sculptural form with a very strong presence, The photo's don't do
this piece justice.
Its an incredible
piece, the surface texture
Has both the look and feel
crocodile skin, It’s quite a masculine piece, rare for Tony Evans.
The surface texture and
patterning is totally unique, any potter will tell you they don’t know what any
piece will really look like until the firing process is completed.
The colors are incredible, muted
brown tones with intricate patterning, It really has to be seen to
be believed..!
It’s a very uniform piece
considering the size and unusual surface texturing.
creating surface patterning /
texturing of this kind is incredibly specialized and Is not achieved by
pressing or molding the textured onto the surface of the piece. This is a
complex effect to achieve, it’s a result of many variables of the firing
process and the skill and experience of Tony Evans ( See below ) There are
normally good areas and bad areas with this kind of technique, this is stunning
all over as you can see.
The Shape and form of this
piece is a classic, Tony Evans made a few vases with this shape, I think this
is the second best of this Signed and numbered Vase the artist created in this
range.
I’ve traded in Tony Evans
ceramics for years and constantly search the Internet for his work, I believe
this is one of his best.
It’s a very rare and unique piece
and needs an experienced collector to fully appreciate it, It will be a highly
valued piece for collectors of world class ceramics, a masterpiece
In spectacular display condition.
If you buy this piece and
it doesn’t instantly become one of your favorite objects, I’ll be
stunned, complete money back guarantee if dissatisfied in any way, I can offer
that in complete confidence.
Tony Evans
Renowned American
ceramics society ceramic artist Tony Evans was a fellow of the American
ceramics society; he was elevated
to the grade of Fellow by reason of outstanding contributions to the ceramic
arts and won American Ceramic Society medals for his work.
He was most famous for Raku
pottery
The formation of a Raku
glaze is a special and dangerous process created by Japanese ceramic masters hundreds
of years ago; Raku pieces can fetch a lot of money. The traditional process involves
removing the piece from the kiln while still glowing red-hot and allowed to
cool in the open air. The now familiar technique of placing the ware in a
container filled with combustible material is not a traditional Raku practice
and these new techniques have been created by contemporary potters worldwide
like the creator of this vase, Tony Evans.
