Vintage NICODEMUS POTTERY “Tufted Titmouse”
Dated vintage to the 1970s, this rare miniature ceramic figure by Nicodemus Pottery depicts a small tufted titmouse bird perched upon a stump. A lasting figure in the Columbus art scene, Chester Nicodemus (1901-1990) often employed motifs of small animals and birds in his work, providing darling pieces of art that will rightfully adorn any collection. Glazed in both matte and glossy tones of color, this small ceramic sculpture is affixed with Nicodemus’ studio insignia along its underside.
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 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.

About the Artist:
Harris Strong (1920-2006) was born in Waukesha, Wisconsin. He served as an Army cryptographer during World War II, studying chemical engineering at North Carolina State University. After receiving his degree, he studied ceramic art at New York University. His aunt, the owner of a greeting card company, inspired him to pursue a practical career in art. In 1950 Strong and his wife, Rosyln, founded Harris G. Strong, Inc. in the Bronx, NY. Strong found his niche in decorated ceramic tiles and grew the company with each success. In 1970, a fire destroyed the glaze formulas that had been developed over the previous 20 years. At that point, the company pivoted to concentrate on other wall decor, such as prints, collages, and paintings.
