About the Item

Bathed in a vivid, fresh jade green glaze, this large and rare low bowl featuring a Phoenix bird at its center, its wings outstretched, was designed by Waylande Gregory for Cowan Pottery. Cowan had its greatest success in the late 1920s during the Art Deco era, employing some of Cleveland's best sculptors and ceramicists before closing early in the Great Depression. Later, Gregory established his own studio in the New York area, becoming one of America's most successful and prolific ceramicists in the post World War II era.
