NICODEMUS POTTERY Kidney Shaped Footed Tray
SOLD
Rare footed tray by Nicodemus Pottery circa 1960 offers a sizable piece of decor from a legend of the Columbus arts scene. Kidney shaped, this handsome piece of stoneware is glazed with a dandelion interior, while the exterior is treated with a light, transparent glaze for protection; a signature technique often utilized by Chester Nicodemus. A Nicodemus Pottery label is still attached to this scarce piece of pottery.
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.
