NICODEMUS POTTERY “Koala Bear” Figurine

$325.00
This small ceramic figurine by Nicodemus Pottery circa 1970 depicts a smoothly sculpted koala bear perched against a tree stump. A lasting figure in the Columbus art scene, Chester Nicodemus (1901-1990) often employed motifs of small animals and birds in his work, most of which have become widely collected in the years since his passing. This ceramic figurine is minimally glazed and has been stamped with Nicodemus’ studio insignia along its underside, ensuring its authenticity. About the Artist: Chester Nicodemus (1901-1990) was a Columbus, Ohio potter, sculptor, and teacher known for his small clay birds, as well as other wildlife, teapots and pitchers. His pieces are recognizable as being produced with variously colored translucent glazes, which enhanced the redness of the high iron content of Ohio clay to create a russet brown undertone. Nicodemus earned a degree from Cleveland Art School and then went on to teach at Dayton Art School and Wittenberg College. In 1932, he became dean at the Columbus College of Art and Design and later taught at The Ohio State University and served as president of the Columbus Art League. All of Nicodemus' molds and glazes were destroyed upon his death at his request. This figurine is amongst hundreds of pieces of art that are available at our location in Columbus, Ohio!
