Black and Turquoise Pool Plate
ca 1959
Stoneware with pooled glaze; ht. 1.75, dia. 12 in.
Illegible signature on base.
These plates are often referred to as "glass glaze", a surface Beatrice Wood loved to create in her early years. A firing of a thick glaze that would blend into other colors and add a "crackle" as she made her many kiln experiments. Rare in her work, this is an excellent example of this amazingly creative artist.
Provenance: Gifted by the artist and passed down through the family.
The heavy pooled glaze is deeply crazed from the firing process. There are two hairline cracks in the body which are original to the piece, caused by the glaze constriction as the piece cooled.
