Vintage VINCE SANSONE Art Pottery Lidded Bowl Florida Master Potter

This fascinating art pottery lidded bowl was created by Vince Sansone (1942-), a professional potter for over 50 years. He has been a member of the Crealdé School of Art faculty in Winter Park, Florida, since the 1970's, where he has been the longstanding Ceramics Studio and Program Manager there. We've included a photo of him and there is more of his bio below. This beautiful art pottery piece has a wonderful beachy vibe. The glazes remind us of the deep blue sea and there are three seashells molded on the lid. It's hand signed "Sansone" on the bottom, impressed in the gritty, sand-like clay. Measuring 4 1/2 inches tall to the top of the knop on the lid, and 5 1/4 inches in diameter, it sits on a 2 1/2 inch wide base and weighs 1 1/4 pounds. The lid has a flange that allows it to sit snugly in the rim of the bowl. It's in like-new condition, with a few tiny, scattered glaze pops and no cracks, chips or other damage. It's an exceptional piece of art pottery by a master potter. ✯ Some of the collections that house Vince Sansone's ceramics: State of Illinois Historical Preservation Society, Springfield IL American Embassy, Madrid, Spain White House Collection of American Craft, Washington DC Taipei County Yingge Ceramics Museum, Taipei, Taiwan City of Orlando, Florida Artists Collection, Orlando, Floirda ✯✯ A few of the many exhibitions of Sansone's work: 2017, Director’s Choice VI, Crealdé School of Art, Winter Park, Florida 2016, Art Legends of Orange County, Orange County Administration Center, Orlando, Florida 2014, Comic Relief, Cabarrus Art Gallery, Concord, North Carolina 2010, Orlando Folk Festival, The Mennello Museum of American Art, Orlando, Florida 2006, 2007, 2008, Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida 2006, Forms & Shapes, The Useful Teapot, Akar Gallery, Iowa City, Iowa 2004, Plates & Platters, Crealdé School of Art, Winter Park, Florida 2004, First Taiwan Ceramics Biennale Exhibition, Taipei, Taiwan 2004, Group exhibition, River Gallery, Chattanooga, Tennessee 2003, solo exhibition, Museum of Art & Science, Melbourne, Florida 2001, For the Birds, Blue Spiral 1 Fine Art Gallery, Asheville, North Carolina 2001, Imaginings, River Gallery, Chattanooga, Tennessee © PrimpingYourHome.com Visit our website at https://www.primpingyourhome.com PYH 5645
