EDITORS COMMENTS
John Dana's Jar, created around 1937, is a stunning example of American ceramic art from the Decorative Arts period. This stoneware piece, with its distinctive blue and white color palette, showcases intricate floral designs executed through slip decoration. The jar's functional form, reminiscent of an urn, is enhanced by the artist's meticulous attention to detail. Born in the United States during the 1930s, this decade is reflected in the jar's design, which embodies the aesthetic sensibilities of the time. The jar is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the country, and a valuable addition to any art collection. John Dana, the creator of this masterpiece, left an indelible mark on the ceramics world with his unique style and innovative techniques. His signature, boldly displayed on the jar, serves as a reminder of the artist's hand and the pride he took in his work. This jar is not only a beautiful decorative piece but also a historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the past and the artistic trends of the 20th century. It is a treasure for those interested in American art, pottery, and design. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, making it accessible to the public for appreciation and study. The jar's watercolor and graphite on paperboard drawing, which serves as an index of American design, further highlights its significance in the history of American art.
