Artist's Statement: This vase is a collaborative effort by Robert and Bruce Diebboll, father and son. Robert and Bruce have been working together for the last 20 years, where Bruce throws and Robert decorates the pots. This piece is influenced by American Stoneware from the 1800's though the shape and drawing are unique. Our intent with this piece was to uphold and build on the integrity of the Early American Potters.
