Claude Conover Vase, Ceramic, Signed "Hopci"

Creator: Claude Conover
Offered by: Solo Modern

Description
Claude Conover vase, ceramic, signed. Large hand built stoneware vase decorating with hatching and scratching patterns. An incised line divides the two patterns. These decorative elements often produced an effect of Prehistoric script or drawings. Signed: Hopci on the underside. We purchased the vessel from the original owner.

As a member of the Cleveland School, Conover (1907-1994), worked for 30 years as a commercial designer before turning to ceramics full time in the 1960s. During his lifetime, his hand built stoneware pots were exhibited in many museums, galleries and arts centers around the USA, some traveling internationally. Since his death, appreciation for his work has steadily grown.
