Harris Strong is best known for his mid century tile panels, but he also made pottery, albeit for a short time and early in his career. The masked sgraffito stick man on this bowl can also be found on some of Strong''s earliest tiles, usually double framed with a wide linen mat and a rectangular paper label on the back. The boomerang shaped bowl undulates from a low 1 3/4 inches at the base of his foot to a high point of 2 7/8 inches at the top of his head. The figure lies across the matte aqua colored background decorated by an incised black line with raised white enamel accents. A bird is perched on his raised knee. The bowl is 14 inches wide ad nearly 7 inches in depth/ The exterior is covered in a glossy black glaze. The base is marked with an incised C-40 The condition remains excellent with gentle crazing, perhaps purposeful, to the aqua interior. There are no chips, cracks, or restorations.
