Description: New Mexico ceramicist Caroline Koons has been a recognized and collected artist for decades. Her unique signature style , which can be described as kind of a mashup of Memphis and the Mad Hatter, involves a fearless mix of color and pattern on thrown, hand and slab built forms. Although is a definite whimsicality about the work, its delicacy and mastery of form, as well as a certain Asian influence, speak to its discipline and rigor. Aficionados of Mackenzie-Childs' awesome opus may see some parallels as well, particularly in the use of a black and white checkered pattern to counterbalance all the expressive shapes and freewheeling color. This HTF set includes the absolutely stunning spoon, which really is an art piece all by itself, and one whose extreme delicacy has often rendered it a casualty some thirty years after its creation. ( You will see a fair number of Koons' bowls on offer, but not many with the original spoon). The artist's collectors, Memphis fans and lovers of art pottery in general will be excited to add this jewel-sized ( 4.5" diameter) set to their collections. Exquisite creation ships USPS Ground advantage from Los Angeles. ***Here is some info from the artist herself. https://mainstreetartsfest.org/artist/caroline-koons/
