A dragon with Ohio roots.
Lot 2 is a Gonder No. 533 pottery vase, with curling dragons in relief, a soft blue-gray glaze and a contrasting pink interior. Turn it over and the impressed Gonder, 533 and USA marks tell you who made it.
Lawton Gonder founded Gonder Ceramic Arts in Zanesville, Ohio, in 1941. The company’s story runs from that founding to its sale in 1957, with sculptural forms and a wide range of glazes at its heart. This vase brings that American art-pottery tradition to a shelf or display cabinet.
