EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning stoneware jar, created by American artist John Dana in approximately 1953, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in ceramics. The jar is a prime example of the functional art movement that emerged during the mid-20th century, where form and function harmoniously coexist. John Dana's mastery of slip decoration is evident in the intricate blue and white patterns that adorn the exterior of this piece. The jar's rounded form and subtle shoulder give it an elegant and timeless appeal. The makers mark, subtly branded on the base, adds an element of authenticity and heritage to the piece. The jar's origins can be traced back to the 1930s and 1940s, a period marked by significant artistic and cultural developments in the United States. This era saw a renewed interest in traditional crafts and the emergence of new artistic movements, such as the American Craftsman style. This stoneware jar is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States and the enduring appeal of functional ceramics. It is a treasure from a bygone era, a period item that continues to inspire and captivate art enthusiasts and collectors alike. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate and study. The gallery's Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts, provides valuable context and information about this and other pieces in its collection. This image of the stoneware jar is a watercolor, graphite pen and ink, and gouache on paperboard rendering by an unknown artist. It offers a detailed and accurate representation of the original piece, allowing us to examine its intricate design and appreciate its beauty from a new perspective.
