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.

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.
