Cowan Pottery The Cowan Pottery Studio was founded in 1912 by R. Guy Cowan, and it prospered during the 20's. The pottery was marketed nation wide and many well known artists were affiliated with the studio. In the mid-twenties the studio developed a full commercial line of pottery with artistic quality of the highest standard. The studio showed itself to be ahead of its time with the modern sculptures and wide array of Art Deco pieces it created for its avant-garde clientele. Financial difficultiess began in 1929 as the delicate balance of art, pottery, and commercial production began to teeter. In 1930, the financial difficultie of the Great Depression proved too much and in December, 1930 the Company went into recievership. Under supervision of the Court, in 1931 Cowan Pottery artists were able to produce some of their most artistic work but the Studio was forced to finally close its doors in December 1931. During its brief existence, the Cowan Pottery Studio and the artists involved produced some outstanding and technically extraordinary pieces which brought international recognition to American Art Pottery. The expertise of the artists and chemists allowed them to creat art forms and glazes which have never been reproduced. is your chance to own a piece of art from this reknowned studio.
