The pot’s interior is coated with light-gray matte glaze.  The pot is covered overall with a clear matte glaze.  Scattered firing inclusions and speckling is evident over the pot’s surface.  The mouth flange, lid underside and low foot remain a burnished bisque finish.                                                        The lidded pot measures approximately 10-1/2” high X 7-5/8” at its widest part.  The pot is 7-7/8” high without its lid.  The artist’s stamp is incised on the bottom.  The pot is in mint condition.     The piece was created in 1979 by Harrison McIntosh a prominent artist whose works are in the permanent collections of various museums around the world including the Musee National De La Ceramique, France;  Musee Des Arts Decoratifs the Louvre, France;  Mingei Museum, Japan;  Kiushu Museum, Japan;  Belgian Royal Collection (ms), Belgium;  Arizona State Museum, Arizona; Everson Museum of Art, New York;  Museum of Arts and Design, New York;  Smithsonian Institution Renwick Gallery, D.C.;  Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California;  Haggin Museum, California;  Long Beach Museum of Art, California;  Detroit Institute of Arts, Michigan;  Johnson Collection, Wisconsin;  Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Mass.;  Utah Museum of Fine Arts, Utah;  Boise Arts Museum, Idaho;  Newark Museum, New Jersey and others.   Mr. McIntosh has been featured in a number of books and articles including “Ceramic Art In America”; “California Design”; “Contemporary Ceramics”; “Modern Ceramics”; “House Beautiful”; “Cahiers de la Ceramique”; “Crafts Horizon”; “American Artist” and “Objects U.S.A.”, to list just a few.   Major exhibitions include First International Ceramic Festival - Cannes, France;  The Smithsonian Institute - D.C., U.S.A.;  International Exhibition of Contemporary Ceramic Art - Tokyo, Japan;  Craftsmanship Defined – Philadelphia, U.S.A.;  Second International Ceramic Festival (ms) - Ostend, Belgium;  Craftsmanship, L.A.
