Description
This is a beautiful piece of handmade pottery by Mark Hewitt. Mark uses NC Piedmont clays and blends the different North Carolinian folk traditions into a contemporary style that has attracted a sizable following for his work. I purchased this lovely warm brown-shaded jug from Mark himself in the mid-1980's at Durham's downtown CenterFest festival. The dimensions of this jug are: 12 inches in height with a width of 7 inches at its widest point. Made of clay and finished in a unique salt glaze, this vintage jug is an original piece. The jug is signed by the artist himself with his WMH stamp, adding to its authenticity and value. Mark’s work has been featured in numerous publications including the Smithsonian magazine , the cover of American Craft magazine, and he has written extensively in the ceramic press. Mark has exhibited in London, New York, and Tokyo, as well as throughout the US. He is well-represented in museum and private collections. Mark and his work were featured extensively in the PBS series, “ Craft in America" .
