"Exploring the Art of Slip Decoration: A Journey through Time and Creativity" Step into the world of slip decoration, where skilled artisans have transformed ordinary ceramics into stunning works of art. From pie plates to bowls, pitchers to crocks, each piece tells a unique story that captivates the eye and sparks curiosity. In 1936, Agnes Karlin showcased her talent with a mesmerizing pie plate. The intricate patterns and delicate details transport us back in time, while Mina Lowry joined forces with Karlin to create another masterpiece in c. 1936. Karlin's creativity didn't stop there; she also crafted a remarkable bowl in 1935/1942 that showcases her mastery of slip decoration. Meanwhile, Carl Strehlau took center stage with his pitcher in c. 1941 – an exquisite blend of form and design. Robert Stewart's flower crock from probably 1940/1941 is a testament to his artistic prowess. Its vibrant colors and floral motifs breathe life into this functional piece. Stewart's cup and saucer from c. 1939 are equally enchanting – an invitation to savor every sip. But let's not forget about the historical gems within this collection. An Ilkhanid dynasty bowl from the late 13th / early 14th century transports us back centuries ago, showcasing timeless beauty that transcends time itself. And an intricately decorated calligraphic bowl from the 10th century reminds us of ancient craftsmanship by an unknown creator. Charlotte Sperber makes her mark on slip decoration history with her butter churn from c. 1937 – blending functionality with elegance seamlessly. Her jug and crock creations further demonstrate her skillful hand at transforming clay into captivating pieces that stand out among their peers.
