Manufacturer: Ault Pottery (British, 1887-1922). Date: ca. 1890.This bottle demonstrates the strong influence of Japanese ceramics on Christopher Dresser (1834-1904), a prolific designer who played a key role in promoting the industrial arts in Victorian England. In 1876, Dresser became the first designer to be invited by the Japanese government to study the arts of Japan as a delegate of the newly opened South Kensington Museum (Victoria and Albert Museum). His keen interest in the unconventional forms and experimental glazes of Meiji period ceramics such as Awaji pottery merged with domestic traditions in English salt-glazed wares in the designs he produced for Linthorpe Art pottery (1878-1889). William Ault purchased and used the Linthorpe factory's molds based on Dresser's shapes when he established his pottery in 1887

Vase ca. 1897-1900 George E. Ohr In many ways George Edgar Ohr was the quintessential Arts and Crafts potter, combining artistic vision with extraordinary skill with his hands. Working in the seaside resort town of Biloxi, Mississippi, he dug the clay, processed and prepared it, threw the shape on the wheel, altered the piece according to his vision, mixed and applied his own glazes, fired the kiln, created his own style of advertising, and took his wares on the road. Ohrs personal mantra was "no two alike," and he was as eccentric as his work was individualistic, with its manipulated forms on ultra-thin thrown vessels, crimping, ruffling, off-centering, and twisting, to create unprecedented forms for the 1890s. To these forms, he applied his own completely new and unusual glazes, applied by sponging, splashing, and spattering, resulting in works that in many ways anticipated the abstract art movements that would find form decades later.Ohr altered his finely thrown pots while they we
