Vintage NICODEMUS POTTERY “Christmas Card” Ornament
This ceramic ornament by Nicodemus Pottery is dated vintage to 1972 and depicts a shapely “Christmas card” complete with a charming holly motif. A lasting figure in the Columbus art scene, Chester Nicodemus (1901-1990) imbues a quaint and homespun quality onto this ornament, which has been left unpierced, meaning it was likely given away by the artist himself as a gift. This ceramic ornament is glazed in a glossy, translucent green and has been stamped and affixed with Nicodemus’ studio insignia en verso, 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.

Jeré were produced and marketed by Artisan House, an art production for the average consumer that was founded by the duo in 1963. Freiler was the chief of production and Fels was the chief of design. They employed a great number of minorities and handicapped people and at one point employed 300 people. They sold the company in 1972. Early C. Jeré works were produced in California, but continue to be made overseas since the company’s outsourcing in 2003. Freiler passed away in 2008, Fels in 2013 at 103 years old.
