Clewell – Bowl – Copper Clad

Summary: American Arts & Crafts art pottery bowl clad in a heavy armour of patinated copper, made at Clewell Pottery using Charles Clewell’s patented method of plating a clay body in a “skin-tight” shell of metal.

This example has an attractive shallow round form with inward rolling rim, incised with a circular designating line, raised on three equidistant feet; the carefully applied patina is a bright multi-tonal green over a rich multi-tonal red.
