This ceramic or art pottery vase measures 8 inches tall by about 5.5 inches in diameter.

It is in the style of English Wedgewood, but was made in Ontario, Canada by the ECanada Art Pottery Company.

It dates circa 1944-1952.

It is in very good to excellent condition with the exception of what appears to be a few very small patches of clear lacquer. It is not really worth mentioning, but as we all hate surprises, I always mention everything, regardless of how insignificant it is.

Overall, this is a beautiful, crisply detailed vase that could easily hold it's own in a good Wedgwood collection. ________________________________________________________

The Ecanada Art Pottery Company was located in Hamilton, Ontario and was the brainchild of George Emery, who was born in Staffordshire England in 1881. At the age of 12, Emery was apprenticed for seven years at the Wedgwood factory in basic potting and mould making. Showing skill, he was apprenticed in design for a further 7 years at the same location. Working for a while at Wedgwood, where he was bound, he decided to seek opportunities elsewhere and immigrated to Canada in 1912. While Emery was working as a designer for the Canadian Porcelain Company in Hamilton, he first began to produce his own version of Wedgwood jasperware that was to become known as Ecanada.

A detailed study of the development of the technical and artistic achievement of Ukiyo-e (Japanese graphic art - pictures of the floating world).

This book is not in mint condition, but it is awfully close.

It has spent the last 25 years in a closed (and properly ventilated - no mold) glass front bookcase, along with many of it's friends.

I have seldom even opened it, only because I have thousands of old reference books and catalogues (really - 40+ years worth) and it was deposited in the wrong place.

So I never looked there, until recently, during a major cleaning.

The dust jacket has a tiny tweak at the top of the spine area which I did while I was handling it for this listing. Dumb, huh?

It is signed Guzman in the lower left corner. Juan "Pepe" Guzman is a contemporary California artist. His strong use of color and light is influenced by both his Latin American background and his California roots. His paintings are a mix of Impressionism, Expressionism, Fauve colors and a dash of California Plein Air. This little fauve impressionist landscape has a outstanding mix of brilliant colors.

This little gem makes use of the palette knife for a strong three dimensional quality

The painting is in OUTSTANDING CONDITION, period. There are a few scuff marks on the upper edges of the nicely detailed frame.
