Edgar Littlefield

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774

Edgar Littlefield studied ceramic with Arthur Baggs at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. He worked in a number of different modes and participated in the Ceramic National Exhibitions for a number of decades. This dish features a design that is expressive and energetic. The brilliant turquoise and black glaze is one that captured the imagination of many artists of the period, referencing both brightly colored Egyptian faience and Islamic wares.
