Covered bowl

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 lidded bowl features prominent throwing rings for decorative effect, and a brilliant red glaze—one that the artist much admired. The distinct separation between the red and black glazes is an effect which suggests skilled technical control.
