Designer: Marcus Heimann

Item: Large American Studio Pottery Vessel Vase

Manufactured by: Marcus Heimann

Country of origin: United States

Year made: Circa 1971

Materials: Ceramic and glaze

Dimensions: 11 ½” x 8”

Description:  From the limited amount of information available about Heimann on-line, he lived in Connecticut and traveled to Sanibel Island, Florida to work during the winter months.  This is mentioned in a local newspaper from 1971 that described his presence there throwing pots.  This exceptional and large work of stoneware was made there as is evidenced by the word Sanibel engraved on the bottom under his signature.  We have not been able to find other examples of his work, but an important dealer in American Studio pottery alerted us to his work after a nearly fruitless search.  This is very heavy weighing 11 pounds unpacked so shipping will be expensive.

Condition: Excellent, no chips, cracks or damage.
