Books. Pots. Pics. All by Anne E. Terpstra

Chicago potter inspired by mid-century forms and Chicago's architectural history.

Anne E. Terpstra is a Chicago potter who throws functional and decorative work for the home and garden. She’s always been drawn to mid-century modern design, and this is reflected in the clean lines of many of her forms. She also loves the contrast of glaze against clay body and explores this through a variety of taped lines that let the fired clay play against the surrounding glaze. Many of her designs are inspired by stained glass from Chicago’s own Prairie style, along with art deco and mid-century patterns.

Christmas Tree Luminary - Glacier

Christmas Tree Luminary - Glacier

$71.00

This Christmas tree was thrown on the wheel as an enclosed form, and then crisp slashes were carefully carved into the delicate walls. The pale celadon glaze breaks sharply over the peaks and settles into the valleys of the carved marks, creating drama in the daytime hours. But at night, with a battery-operated tea light beneath, a second tree comes to life, one with a warm glow flickering through the carved walls.
