Lot #705: Anne SNEATH (Dundas, Ontario) Studio Pottery Teapot, 1980s

Large wheel-thrown stoneware teapot by noted Dundas, Ontario potter Anne Sneath, finished in a rich mottled blue-green glaze. Features a ribbed rounded body, long spout, fitted lid with sculptural loop finial, and an unusually substantial overhead handle with twisted applied supports. Incised signature to underside. Approximately 9 in. high. Wooden apple shown for scale. Minor age-related wear. Sneath was an established figure in the Hamilton/Dundas ceramics community and was involved in the development of the organization that became FUSION: The Ontario Clay & Glass Association. The Donn Zver School of Pottery's permanent collection specifically holds several Anne Sneath works, including teapots from the 1980s, bowls and jars, which makes the attribution here particularly solid. The Hamilton Potters' Guild also continues to present its Anne Sneath Best in Show Award in her honour. Dimensions: - Pickup category timeslot {A}
