LISA KATZENSTEIN (born 1956); a tin-glazed Maiolica slip-cast earthenware wave bowl decorated with pears, painted signature, diameter 27cm, height 11.5cm.“Using the ‘double cast’ technique allows the appearance of volume without colossal weight.

It can be seen both as a decorative and practical object.” Condition Report: Appears good with no obvious signs of faults, damage or restoration.

This version refers to the goddess of the hunt, Diana/Artemis, depicted in 'Artemis and Callisto' by Titian in which the dog can be seen resting. Having worked as a ceramic artist for 50 years as a maker and a teacher across all ages, I have seen just how wonderful working in clay can be in discovering a sense of personal expression and creativity.” Condition Report: Appears good with no obvious signs of faults, damage or restoration.
