V. Schreckengost exhibit - Jazz series
From the exhibit of Viktor Schreckengost's art and design work, at the Shaker Historical Society in Shaker Heights, OH - August 2-October 2, 2011.
Reproductions of the "Jazz" series commissioned from Cowan Pottery by Eleanor Roosevelt. These reproductions were created in 2006 using the same techniques as the original bowls and plates, on the occasion of Schreckengost's "centennial" celebration. Very few of the original pieces were made (around 50 of the bowls) and almost none still exist - those that do are mainly found in museum collections. One bowl was sold in 2004 for over $250,000.
