Manufacturer: Georges Scatchard, Vermont
This Georges Scatchard early 5 inch tall x 7 3/4" wide hanging planter is a good example of the work that Scatchard was doing in the 1970s and early 1980s before he decided to concentrate primarily on lamps. The rim has three holes for hanging. Ah, remember macramé!! There are another three drainage holes in the bottom of the planter which would carry excess water to the attached underplate. The inside rings clearly on this hand thrown piece as well as the body of the stoneware itself and where the drip glaze was place. You can see all the ridges of the hand thrown object. The outside of the goblet is done in tans and beiges and one can see both inclusions and the horizontal rings from the throwing. The overglaze on this piece is done in shades of blues and greens and has an abstract design. The plnater is signed on the unglazed bottom G. SCATCHARD. A beautiful early piece.

Currently located in Underhill, Vermont, Georges Scatchard started from a converted horsebarn with his brother Ted in 1960. An article about the two Scatchard brothers and their ceramics was published in the 1967 Spring issue of Vermont Life on pages 38-42. According to the article, he was the only New Englander to receive a merit award for three items (all pottery) entered in the 1965-1966 New England Craft Council's exhibition for new and emerging craftsmen.
His current website, gslamps.com, shows his current production and gives a brief history of his work. |
