"Steeped in ceramics from birth, Hugh C. Robertson pursued his craft with fierce devotion and a passion for experimentation. From a family of trained English ceramists, he honed his skills in New Jersey before settling in Massachusetts as one of the founders of Chelsea Keramic Art Works and later, Dedham Pottery. Robertson’s lifelong explorations in glazes, particularly their color and texture, make him one of the key figures of American art pottery at the turn of the twentieth century.

... Many of his Dedham vessels have brilliant layerings of red and purple glazes. Experimenting with a daring, difficult-to-control method, Robertson tried painting designs with glaze onto glaze, layering one over the other. The propensity for the glazes to flow together or even run off the vessel made this technique very challenging."

Thanks, Bernadette. I can imagine the excitement of the potter when these came out of the kiln.

Wonderful vases. I love the deep green colors of the glaze.

You're welcome, Marina. I'm glad you like these. I think it worked well for all three pieces to be arranged together to create this composition.

I like what you said, "The process is the art." Sound right to me, @Odetteswann.

So lovely! Like abstract art! How do they know what they are going to make? Must be the process is the art.

I agee, Cyndi. The pieces make a beautiful group, but I'd take any one of them.
