Zane Smith, Richard – Corrugated Bowl with Lid (2000)

6"w x 5"h (w/ lid)

$ 2,800.00

This is an intricate lidded bowl by Richard Zane Smith. It is coil-built using very thin coils.  The coils are smoothed out on the inside but left exposed on the outside of the vessel.  This distinctive style of pottery is a revival of the pre-historic concept of corrugated pottery. The small coils are then incised to create the designs and Richard paints them with clay slips before it is fired.  This one of those that actually takes a minute to really take in the complexity of the deisgn. The bowl is incised and painted to look like a basket.  The central band has an almost “op-art” style with the jagged imagery. T he remiander is incised to look like it has been woven.  While not a large jar, it is a GEM!  The Lid fits perfectly and the top has a piece of carved wood for the “handle”.  The bowl is signed on the inside “Richard Zane Smith” and it is from 2000.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.

Zane Smith, Richard (b. 1955)

Richard Zane Smith

Richard Zane Smith was born in Georgia and grew up in St. Louis, Missouri; he has a degree from the Kansas City Art Institute, where he studied ceramics. As a young man, he taught at a Navajo mission school, where he was exposed to native clay and Ancient Pueblo pottery.  These remnants and their coiled construction, as well as his Wyandot heritage, are what continue to inspire his work to this day. Richard Zane Smith's works can be found in museums nationwide and featured in numerous exhibits, including the Heard Museum's exhibit, "Breaking the Surface," the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the San Diego Museum of Man, and the Denver Art Museum.   Richard's work has been featured in numerous books and magazine articles, including "The Art of Clay." His corrugated basket style designs are similar to pre-historic corrugated pottery, but using delicate lines, coils, and colors in each layer, makes his pottery resemble Wyandot basketry.  He continues to work on breathing life into recreating his interpretations and presents each work with a naturalistic style, shape, and design story.
