Untitled #2 Vase Vase
This is a vase. It was potter: Magdalene Anyango N. Odundo. It is dated 1994 and we acquired it in 1997. Its medium is slip-coated red clay. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Magdalene Odundo's sensuous forms emerge from her study of hand-built clay coil pots in Kenya and Nigeria, a construction method used in ancient cultures from around the world. Odundo creates subtle, unique patterns on the surface of her vessels with a firing technique developed in San Ildefonso Pueblo, New Mexico. Odundo is a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE), a British order of chivalry awarded for contributions to the arts and sciences, charitable organizations, and public services.
It is credited Museum purchase from Charles E. Sampson Memorial Fund.
Its dimensions are
H x diam.: 55 x 29 cm (21 5/8 x 11 7/16 in.)
