EDITORS COMMENTS
This pie plate, created by American artist Paul Ward in the late 1930s, showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of the Decorative Arts during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The pie plate, titled "Pie Plate, c. 1937," is a testament to Ward's exceptional skill in slip decoration, a technique that involves applying colored clay to the surface of a piece before it is fired. The pie plate, with its vibrant and intricate design, is a stunning example of the functional art that emerged during this period. The colors and details are brought to life through Ward's masterful use of watercolor, colored pencil, and pen and ink on paperboard. The plate's design features a series of geometric shapes and abstract patterns that are both playful and sophisticated, making it a standout piece in any collection. The pie plate's terracotta color adds to its charm and character, making it a perfect addition to any table setting. The plate's age, with its subtle signs of wear and use, adds to its heritage value and speaks to the history and traditions of American tableware during this time. This pie plate is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts from the colonial period to the present day. The National Gallery of Art is an important cultural institution that preserves and showcases the artistic heritage of the United States, and this pie plate is a prime example of the unique and beautiful objects that can be found within its walls.
