Story
During the mid-1970s, a generation of artists turned away from the polished, factory-made aesthetics of the Space Age to embrace the 'honesty' of clay and fire.
Maker / Origin
While 'Reavic' is a niche name in the broader national registry, the artist was clearly a skilled practitioner of the American Studio Pottery tradition.
Condition & Value
The piece shows characteristic crazing throughout the glaze, which is typical for stoneware of this period. Value is driven by the charm of the 'Back to the Land' aesthetic and the functionality of the piece.
