Cup and Saucer, c. 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Robert Stewart is a captivating snapshot of American decorative arts in the mid-20th century. This ceramic masterpiece showcases Stewart's exceptional talent for slip decoration, with intricate patterns adorning both the cup and saucer. The artist's skillful use of watercolor and graphite on paperboard brings out the vibrant colors and textures of this functional yet aesthetically pleasing tableware. The words "Mercer" and "Greensboro Silver Cornet band" inscribed on the cup add an intriguing element to this artwork, hinting at its historical significance. Perhaps it was commissioned or used by these notable entities during that era, providing a glimpse into their cultural heritage. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this period item represents an important chapter in American design history. It reflects the country's artistic evolution during the 1930s and 1940s, showcasing how ceramics were not only utilitarian objects but also expressions of creativity. Stewart's Cup and Saucer exemplifies his mastery over clay as a medium for self-expression. Its brown color palette adds warmth to any setting while its slip painting technique elevates it from mere crockery to artistry. As we admire this remarkable piece from America's past, we are reminded of our rich artistic legacy that continues to inspire contemporary designers today.
