Oblong Vintage Blue and Ochre Studio Pottery Planter Vase by Deanna Nichols
$650.00Studio ceramic footed planter by ceramicist, Deanna Nichols (b. 1942-2017, Missouri).
Holding a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute (1965) and an MFA from Claremont Graduate University in California (1967), Nichols was educated in painting and complex pottery making techniques at an academic level and later served as an educator at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs, Southwestern College in Chula Vista, CA, and The Chrysler Museum School in Norfolk, VA.
The second floor of the new student center at Kansas City Art Institute is named for Nichols (see image).
This piece dates to the early 1990s, based on the signature “D. Nichols,” which she used during that era and features a unique, oblong shaped vessel in blue and ochre with a striated pattern. Supported by four block-form feet. Attractive color palette, sculptural form, and incised linear decoration.
From the family of Deanna Nichols’ personal collection of her pieces.
“I fell under the spell of the wheel, loving the physical beauty of the moves required to form clay and the sense of peace that came from throwing. Function has always been the thing that made it work for me. That and the people who take the pieces into their lives and make it all relevant. Should this lump of clay become a vessel and Should it dry without crack, Fire without flaw and Serve without breaking, Then may it claim For its maker A tiny bit of immortality.” – Deanna Nichols, 2008

Pair of Green Lotus Enamel Lidded Skillets by Cathrineholm
$295.00Pair of Norwegian Cathrineholm ‘Lotus’ enamel lidded skillets / frying pans with sculpted teak handles. Slight size difference between the two pans:
larger measures: H: 3.5″ x L: 17.75″ x D: 10.75″ smaller measures: H: 3.1″ x L: 15.75″ x D: 8.75″
Though Grete Prytz Kittelsen was responsible for form and color design, Arne Clausen is attributed as having designed the ‘lotus’ pattern for Cathrineholm.
These skillets are in very nice, vintage condition. Interior is clean with only a smattering of tiny spots of discoloration, as pictured. The green lotus pattern shows a couple of spots of wear, and the undersides show minor wear from use. Overall, these are in excellent, vintage shape with only minor wear.
We have many pieces of Cathrineholm enamelware listed separately (many in this same green color, including non-lidded skillets and platters), so check out our full listings for more items.
