Please see the recent Ceramic Monthly cover story on Michael Gustavson, at gustavsonstudios.com Collectors of Gustavson know that his early pieces, like this one, "Wedges" from 1986, are some of his best work, and are all the more valuable because they are hard to find. This is likely the finest example of his early work that is available today. This extraordinary raku vessel has had only a single owner from the day it was created over 20 years ago. Height: 26.5 inches (67.5 cm), Width: 22 inches (56 cm)

Adorning the top of Tim Mathers' imaginative vessel is an extraordinary sculpture by the renowned Marilee Hall. A striking and unforgettable collaboration from 1984 between two great ceramic artists. An early piece like this is especially valuable, as Mathers is now the head of the Ceramic Department at Indiana University, and is no longer producing any work. This piece has had a single owner since it was created over 20 years ago. Height: 10 inches (25.5 cm), Circumference: 27 inches (68.5 cm)

Mary Barringer, widely exhibited, published, and collected, is well known for her "drawing" with slips, and subtle incising, adding definition and incredible character to her pieces. This is a very special early piece and is a rare type of work for Barringer. It has had a single owner since it was created over 20 years ago. I'm not sure if the four feet are obvious in the photos, but they raise the piece up from its surface at least an inch. The piece is thick walled and heavy. Her effect is one of something very ancient. The alternate title she has for this piece is Stone Temple. Her pieces are shown internationally, and in many museums. This piece is coil built and is lidded. 16 inches (40.5 cm) tall and 12 inches (30.5 cm) square at the base.

Dan Greenfeld is a New York City potter-ceramic artist (a hyphenate he obsesses over) specializing in teapots — porcelain, wood-fired, wisteria handled — that are as functional as they are beautiful. After traveling and studying extensively throughout Japan, Dan chose to explore the teapot because he was challenged by the form's inherently conflicting aesthetic and functional issues. As his thinking evolved, he began to understand that a teapot of sufficient beauty and functionality could enhance people's lives. The teapot can be the focal point of a daily ritual (used in the best sense of the word) encompassing aesthetic contemplation, tea connoisseurship, considered and focused utilization of the senses, and most importantly, discourse and human connection — the essence of the tea ceremony. Be sure to read Dan's fascinating article on The Wood-Fired Teapot at http://www.tching.com/index.php/2006/10/05/the-wood-fired-teapot/. We're sure you'll also enjoy his inspired piece on Teapots - Function and Beauty at http://www.tching.com/index.php/2006/08/21/teapots-function-and-beauty/. Height: 4.75 inches, 12 cm. Width: 6.25 inches, 16 cm. The handle adds an additional 3 inches (7.5 cm) to the height.
