[Iridescent Pottery by Paul J. Katrich (1011)]

"Midwestern Summer"
Luster Vessel 1011 (16")

Description of "Midwestern Summer"

"This vase is an impression of the rural highways of Ohio and Illinois in late Summer. The azure sky, gold and green fields, and sun-dappled trees are as seen from a rapidly passing car.

"To me, cornfields, wild grass and uncultivated trees represent life and vitality. These are the unappreciated natural beauty of common experience.

"I have many happy associations with such journeys: the solitude, the well-being, the quintessential America. Such trips often culminate in meeting old and new friends in the pottery world, making them that much more meaningful.

"The vessel sports a complicated and labor-intensive combination of glazes, requiring several firings to complete. These glazes range from olive green and deep turquoise satin mattes to matte and golden lusters. Its interior is a bright metallic copper.

"As with all of my pottery, this is an unique example, not to be repeated."

Paul J. Katrich
