DAVID STEWART SAUCER - HUMMINGBIRD AMONGST THE FLOWERS - 6 1/8" DiA. (C

Description: This listing is for a saucer with a beautiful HUMMINGBIRD SURROUNDED BY A FOREST OF LEAVES AND FLOWERS by DAVID STEWART(1930 -2019). Mr. Stewart was the design assistant to Marguerite Wildenhain(1896-1985) at her school of ceramic design, Pond Farm, in Guerneville, California from 1960 to 1980. This piece is 6 1/8 inches in diameter by 3/4 inches high. This plate represents one of Mr. Stewart's classic, later in his career, design styles. I have seen this motif several times and it was one of his most popular. A previous owner has epoxied a length of monofilament line for wall hanging. My title for this piece is 'Hombre'! The trimming details are very crisp as usual. One additional bit of triviality is that the letter shape of the 'S' and the crossing of the two 'T's with one line in Stewart in his signature, which is the case with this piece, imply he signed the back of this piece. There is often another form of his signature where the "S' has a different shape and the two 'T's are each crossed individually which tells me his assistant signed for him. This was probably his wife Niva or his daughter Gail. This is a very strong vibrant example of David Stewart's carving and glazing skills! It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or restorations and It is signed on the back. (I have included some additional photos of other items I have listed) (C - 958)
