About the artist: Polia Pillin, born in Poland in 1909, emigrated to the United States in the 1920s and, with her husband William, established Pillin Art Pottery in Los Angeles. Throughout her career, Pillin became known for her fascination with both women and horses, recurring motifs that symbolized feminine beauty, independence, and the powerful yet gentle bond between humans and animals. Each of her works was hand-decorated, making every piece genuinely unique—even when she explored similar themes, no two vases were ever exactly alike.
