Rare Hand Signed NICODEMUS Ceramic “Mr. Duck”
SOLD
Glazed in a matte gray tone, a small ceramic figure of a duck by Nicodemus Pottery. Affectionately titled “Mr. Duck”, this rare piece of ceramic art has been hand signed by Chester Nicodemus on the underside of the sculpture.
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.
