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.

Carved concave lines step their way down the sides of this dark brown stoneware vase. The repeating texture allows the glaze to catch and pool at regular intervals, creating a visual and tactile pattern. This variegated blending, which pairs nicely with the exposed clay body at the foot of the vase, shifts subtly with the changing daylight in the room.
