This auction is for an exquisite Doug Wylie Whale Tail 5pc Punch Bowl set. The set consists of a very large bowl, bowl base which resembles waves, and whale tail ladle, and two goblets. I have search for many years to find another punch bowl to no avail, which leads me to believe this was either a one of a kind creation or a very rare, limited edition item.
Unfortunately I am forced to part with this beautiful art piece due to the loss of employment.
It is in excellent condition, no chips or cracks.
This would be a wonderful addition to anyone's home & art collection.
Bio : Canadian born Douglas Wylie's career in fine art began in ceramics, and in 1978 he started a successful business exploring the use of marine life as a subject for his work. "Clayfish Ceramics" was formed through Doug's union in marriage to musician, Lori Guillen who later became the business manager in 1981. The business flourished with the popularly of his whales tail mug, still found in gift shops at museums, zoos, and aquariums throughout the country. Doug eventually submerged himself in Hawaiian waters with The Center For Whale Studies to better study his subjects. A closer, physical affinity has brought forth Wylie Sculpture, designs now finely cast in bronze. Galleries near and as far as France, Japan, and Singapore display his more recent marine compositions. Doug and Lori Wylie donate four months of their lives each winter to The Center For Whale Studies' research project.
