Covered bowl
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.
