About the Item

Diminutive stoneware vessel by ceramicist, Deanna Nichols (b. 1942-2017, Missouri) designed specifically for housing thyme, as indicated, but additionally suitable for use as a bud vase. Holding a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute (1965) and an MFA from Claremont Graduate University in California (1967), Nichols was educated in painting and complex pottery making techniques at an academic level and later served as an educator at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs, Southwestern College in Chula Vista, CA, and The Chrysler Museum School in Norfolk, VA. The second floor of the new student center at Kansas City Art Institute is named for Nichols (see last image). 1970s studio piece (works made between 1971-79 were stamped “Nichols Ferenbach”) composed of a variegated indigo glaze with sgraffito letters and incised abstract pattern on the reverse. From the family of Deanna Nichols' personal collection of her pieces. "I fell under the spell of the wheel, loving the physical beauty of the moves required to form clay and the sense of peace that came from throwing. Function has always been the thing that made it work for me. That and the people who take the pieces into their lives and make it all relevant. Should this lump of clay become a vessel and Should it dry without crack, Fire without flaw and Serve without breaking, Then may it claim For its maker A tiny bit of immortality." - Deanna Nichols, 2008 H: 4" x Diameter: 2.63"
