Exhibition of Pottery by Henry Varnum Poor

The latest chapter in the story of pottery created by Henry Varnum Poor, is a completely satisfactory continuation of his work.Two particularly lovely pieces represent his work in the year 1926, one a flaring cup, the other a plate. Their interesting ensemble of qualities include an exquisitely drawn line decoration, characteristic of Mr. Poor's scraffito technic, which cuts through a grey slip to a rich red clay ground.
