This set of five bowls was handmade by Arizona Ceramics artist, Mathilde Schaefer (1909-1973). The pieces are in her iconic trianglular shape with the drip glaze on red clay that she is known for. They are in wonderful condition, without chips, cracks or repairs. They measure about 6" across their irregular shape. One of the bowls has a mark to its edge, made during the firing process; it is glazed over. See closeup photo. To learn more about this artist, Google AskArt, "Known in Arizona in the 1960s as an instructor of pottery and sculpture at the Desert School of Art in Scottsdale and also as the wife of artist Lew Davis, she was born in New York City and studied with Raoul Josset and Walter Lemcke. In 1938, she began exhibiting at the Art Institute of Chicago. She married Davis, and they moved to Scottsdale, Arizona w she maintained a studio. Her sculpture is in numerous collections including that of International Business Machines, the Museum of Northern Arizona, and the Katne Legge Memorial in Hinsdale, Illinois." I have other pieces to this set, listed separately.
