This Howard Pierce Large Elephant in a one-of-a-kind glaze comes from a significant Howard Pierce collection that has been cabinet kept for many years. It exhibits Howard Pierce's incredible artistic talent and ability to capture the essence of his subjects through ceramic art. The Large Elephant with his trunk up has such character, and Howard Pierce has captured the Elephant with such whimsy and charm . Howard Pierce was also known for his glazing talents, and this piece is in an experimental, grey-blue glaze with brown accents . Simply a great interpretive, artistic piece .

Howard Pierce was a highly talented artist and a one-man studio potter who started his work in the 1940's and continued up until his death in 1994. He is recognized as one of the greats having worked with William Manker, and his work strongly influenced California Pottery. His work has always been highly collected and has become more so over the last few years, particularly as pottery experts and collectors discover the depth and quality of his talent, work, and contributions to the arts.
