Vintage Lilac and Pale Gray Studio Ceramic Planter with Plate by Deanna Nichols
$950.00Studio ceramic planter with drainage hole and plate/saucer 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 design reminiscent of the linear pattern and shape of certain sea shells. The rim decorated with incised sinuous lines protrudes out slightly from the vessel. Attractive pale gray color with lilac/periwinkle rim.
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.

Vintage Mahogany Highboy Chest of Drawers / Dresser by Edward Wormley for Dunbar
Mid-Century highboy dresser/chest of drawers, model #5273A, designed by Edward Wormley for Dunbar (ca. 1950s, USA).

Ample storage with seven drawers that gradually increase in height.
The unobtrusive end placement of the bentwood drawer pulls provides an unobstructed view of the mahogany grain possessing such vibrance that it appears to move as it is surveyed from different angles (what we call “action”).
Retains the Dunbar metal medallion to the top left drawer.
Very good, conservatively refinished condition with only light wear remaining.
Sourced from the original owner who purchased this in 1955 along with other Dunbar pieces from the E. 63rd Street NYC showroom.
