Stacy Lambert “Adam and Eve” Folk Art Jug

Description

This Stacy Lambert Folk Art Pottery Jug was created July 24, 2012. Working its way toward “vintage,” it is sure to be a lasting heirloom in the years to come. In many ways, Lambert’s work reminds us of that created by the Martin Brothers in the late 1800s.

Dimension: Approximately 11 inches tall x 7.5 inches at widest point.

Provenance: Purchased from Ledbetter Folk Art; subsequently confirmed in direct correspondence with the Artist as a design titled “Adam and Eve.”

From the artist, himself: “Adam and Eve” is applied clay, the tiles surrounding them are made from a press mold that I made. I had lost the molds during a move, and I recently found them and was delighted. The stain is an underglaze of chocolate brown, a technique I learned while working in a leather store. The piece was then sprayed with a clear glaze. I had seen a similar design from a Georgia potter named Wilfred Dean, who did several for the Olympics when they were held in Atlanta. I thought his design was nice, but he didn’t have tile, and his piece was in color. I used the stain technique to give an antique look. Hope you have a great day, I’m supposed to deliver some pieces to a gallery in Asheville today, so my journey continues!” To read more about Stacy Lambert, click HERE.
