EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning pottery jug, created by American artist Frances Godfrey in the 1940s, is a beautiful example of the functional art that emerged during the mid-20th century. The jug, which is now a cherished piece of decorative art, was originally designed for everyday use. Frances Godfrey (1905-1997) was an accomplished ceramist and painter, known for her unique approach to combining watercolor, graphite, and heightening on paper to create intricate designs for her pottery. This piece, with its vibrant colors and elegant curves, showcases her exceptional talent. The jug, which is approximately 12 inches tall, bears the distinctive maker's mark of "Frances Godfrey" on the base, making it a valuable and authentic piece of American art from the 1940s. This item is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s, a period when artists like Godfrey were pushing the boundaries of traditional ceramics and exploring new techniques and designs. This pottery jug is now part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it is on display for visitors to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of this functional work of art. The National Gallery of Art, located on the National Mall, is one of the most renowned art institutions in the United States, with a collection that spans from the Middle Ages to the present day. Whether admired for its functional purpose or its artistic merit, this pottery jug by Frances Godfrey is a testament to the enduring appeal of American art and the creativity of its makers during the 20th century.
