This Pig Tureen is exemplary of her work with its exactly rendered form, where the detail and poise are startlingly life-like. The pig form stands in contrast to the surface painting, which appears realistic at first look, but reveals itself as abstract and impressionistic. The beet form ladle similarly fools the eye, with its fragile yet precise stalks.Modern and Contemporary CeramicsModern and Contemporary - American2018-2019 New Acquisitions[]Modern and Contemporary CeramicsAmerican2006407816AmericanNone
