Lot 62:
Description
Large Vintage Roy Hamilton Signed Spatter Glazed Bowl. Measures 16"x16"x5". Weight 5 lbs. For four decades, designers and decorators have sought out Roy Hamilton?s studios in search of one-of-a-kind yet timeless ceramics. Having originally moved to New York City from London to run the American offices of Liberty of London, he signed up for pottery classes at the midtown YMCA. Soon he had set up a weekend potting studio in the garage of his house in East Hampton. Hamilton works with colored slips, a watered-down form of clay tinted with mineral oxides, to create his signature pale-hued palette. To apply his soft-edged geometric patterns, Hamilton uses slip-trailing, a technique in which the slip is piped on to the vessel from a small rubber syringe. Hamilton has been honored by the Rhode Island School of Design and has also spent ten years as home furnishings Design Consultant to Marks and Spencer in the U.K.
