Description

Loren Lukens Porcelain Charger – Abstract Painterly Glaze, 11"

Exceptional hand‑thrown porcelain charger by renowned American potter Loren Lukens, signed on the reverse. At 11 inches in diameter and 1.75 inches high, this piece exemplifies Lukens’ mastery of “three‑dimensional painting”—a technique that integrates sculptural form with painterly glaze. A striking burgundy swirl anchors the center, gradually transitioning to layered tones of rust, ochre, and tan. Abstract accent lines and dots in black, green, yellow, and red enhance the visual rhythm. The reverse mirrors the front’s aesthetic with complementary glaze forms, and includes a brass hanging loop, offering delightful versatility for display or functional use.

Lukens’ practice has long merged traditional craft with contemporary artistry. His studio in West Seattle—formerly Brace Point Pottery—was a creative hub featuring advanced staging and sustainable practices. The artist emphasizes form, function, and surface, viewing pottery as both everyday utility and expressive art. This piece is a fine representation of his matured style: bold, sculptural, and imbued with visual depth and movement.
