"You have to have a great sense of feel and balance in your hands when you work on the wheel." This is the first thing stated in the article in Southern Living Magazine. This is what Winton told the reporters from the number one Southern Magazine about the art of making... well... art! Up for your bidding pleasure is a magnificent piece by the husband and wife duo Winton & Rosa Eugene of Cowpens South Carolina. Winton a Louisanna native has been working since he was twelve years old! The couple, Winton a former pig farmer, and Rosa a nurse, now both work full time as atrist's in their home gallery! This piece stands at eight inches in height (8). This item is in flawless museum quality condition, hand signed and dated on the bottom. One can distinguish the couples work by both their ornate handles and by the black faces, normally accompanied with some type of menial labor attire about them, this piece itself features an unusual design from the couple, which is of people dancing around the entirity of the item. Originally Winton would carve off clay on the pieces so as to lighten them up in preparation for the kiln, over time this carving progressed into these beautiful and carefully thought out faces, and other designs. Often times these engraved faces are a dead give away to the couples work, and the "curlicue" handles which Winton, the former pig farmer calls, pig tails! The bottom of the piece is signed by the couple. Normally Winton carves out the faces, and Rosa pulls the pieces on the wheel. This beautiful piece has what could be called a granular alkaline base ash style glaze. This glaze allows for a sense of nostalgia, and depth, making this piece a great accent to a fine antique piece of furniture. The inner lid, top, and interior on this piece is a very high gloss black glaze. The contrast from the deep and highly reflective black, to the granular natural colored glaze makes this piece really stand out and catch peoples eyes. It is truly museum quality pieces such as this one that leave the most seasoned pottery dealers, and collectors drooling, and speechless! This piece would make an excellent addition to any fine pottery collection, but would also be a great conversation piece in the kitchen, as it is utilitarian in its basic nature, pictures are below, also with this item I am going to throw in a copy of the Article from Southern Living that was picked up at the artists' home.
