Featured A funky 80s art pottery piece

Hi all. Just found this "monstrosity" as mother called it and yes,its odd,but i like odd ! I know who made it ,Jeri Burdick, and I assuming 1980s . Very Memphis like .Just thought Id get yalls input.

 

Bless your heart - that's all I got.

 

It's hideous! bwdik?

 

How delightful to have a piece of modern studio pottery we can ID ! It's wild & interesting Johnny.Jeri does some really interesting stuff,prob the only real challenge she's got marketing-wise($) is she's all over the map stylistically.I can relate,we get bored.
Like the title-'Small Clutch',that'd be quite a weapon at an Estate Sale.

 

very eye catching.....nice find !!!

 

FUN! I would use it for napkins or candies. I too love to come home with monstrosities!

 

Why not.
I wouldn't buy this, but I do buy the strangest things, so I can relate.
I like the title, an artist with a sense of humour, we need more of those.

 

It's absolutely hideous. It's as if the artist has gone out of their way to offend us.

 

One might even call it outsider art...... it's got soul !

 

LOL ! I love the responses ! Art is meant to incite opinions ,so this thing does ! My taste certainly qualify as 'eclectic' !

 

Y'shoulda written that in all CAPS!

Did anyone else take one look and think "takeoff on a sad iron"?

 

I was thinking Pee Wee's Fun House !!!!!!

 

Here's Cowboy Curtis,Pee Wee's pal !

 

I loved Pee Wee ! A group of friends and I would get baked and watch him and laugh our butts off !

 

Oooo I like that !

 

Join the club!

Yes.
