DescriptionPotters made agate ware by combining and layering different colors of clay before forming the pots on the wheel or in molds. When thrown on a potter’s wheel, agate ware typically exhibits swirling spirals of color. The most elaborately patterned agate wares feature clays stacked in thin layers before rolling, slicing, and recombining the components into slabs that the potter pressed into molds. Complex forms like teapots required multiple molds.
Provenance[Ginsburg & Levy, New York]; purchased by Miss Ima Hogg, October 24, 1956; given to MFAH, by 1966.
