An exceptional, curated 5-piece collection of wheel-thrown studio art porcelain by the highly collected American ceramicist James "Jim" Makins (b. 1946).
Makin’s work is highly coveted and permanently featured in the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Museum of Arts and Design.
This masterfully formed ensemble functions beautifully as a complete tabletop landscape, directly channeling the serene, minimalist spirit of Giorgio Morandi’s famous still-life paintings.
Executed in Makins’ signature luminous off-white glaze, each functional piece acts as an individual sculpture. The forms boast prominent hand-thrown horizontal ridges, organic finger-dimpling, and deliberately expressive, gestural lines.
The collection features a tall pitcher/churn jug with an organically pulled handle, a highly unique abstract branch-spout bud vase, an elegant lidded serving dish/sugar jar topped with a hand-pinched finial, and two flanking flared cups/demitasses.This rare, pre-assembled collection is an absolute dream for high-end interior designers, architectural stagers, and discerning mid-century modern design enthusiasts looking for an impactful mantel or dining room vignette.
All five pieces are hand-signed "Makins" on the base and are dated 1975. The sixth piece is the lid. Set curated from estate of a deceased collector in Fairfield County, CT.
